Can’t seem to figure out why my anemone isn’t opening up more as well as why my hammer on the right has some heads pissed off too. Any ideas.

That anemone might be a bit stressed from placement or flow. Sometimes they need just the right spot with moderate flow and stable light to open fully. Also double-check your water parameters since Hammer corals can show stress with head recession if alk or mag is off. Your green star polyps and

Parameters have always been in this range with not much deviation. Tank is over a year old. And I originally set the anemone lower in the tank on the rock and it has moved to that place it is in now.

Looks like your hammer might be stressing from flow or placement since some heads look a bit closed off. Anemones can be picky too maybe the lighting or current isn’t quite right for it to fully open. Sometimes a little adjustment in flow or feeding schedule helps them perk up!
