Branching Hammer
I recently bought a branching hammer. I positioned it about 1/3 up from the bottom of the tank. When I left for work, and i turned the halides on it was nice and open. When i got home, it was shriveled up and pulled back. Do they not like a lot of light? My colt and leather do the same thing. one min they will be open the next crumpled up and wilted over. Any ideas?

I have all my Euphyllias (Frogspawn, Hammer, and Torch) at the top of my rock and they are doing great. I only have 250's and actinics though. My Frogspawn is really doing well.
