Normally just a few tentacles while moving around but this is nuts

Just sharing! Never seen a hologram hammer before. I guess they are fairly rare. Added to my hammer garden a few days ago and seems happy!

Hoping for some advice.

Info…
150g.
0 ammonia.
0 nitrite.
20-30 nitrate.
140ish KH.
480ish Calcium.
0-0.25 phosphate(sorry, api test kit…).

No changes except for I started dosing all-for-reef. But only is super small amounts, like 5ml a day, which is low for my volume. But then I stopped because I assumed dosing did this.
If anything it’s gotten worse.
Lighting, flow, etc untouched.

I debated on getting more conch, nassarius or another sand sifter to create more movement, but I don’t want to add livestock unless I have to.
Anything helps!

Edit: Though this 150g tank is 6 months old, all rock, water, livestock and a bit of sand came from my established 75g when I upgraded.

So we know the controller sold out, so I'm sure it was top seller right away. But that was nearly 12 hours ago. It's still showing as a top seller.

Is it based on price over a certain time period?
Or units sold over x-amount of time?
I often feel its manipulated but I dunno!

This MF does this too often.

Haven’t had any type of diatoms, detritus, GHA, etc in a long time. I also have never dosed before. I started with All-for-Reef a few weeks ago. Small amounts like 10ml a day (150g tank). My sand bed started to look a little dirty.

Lots of sand movements: sifter star, conch, nassarius.

Anyways, I tested…

0 ammonia/nitrite. 15-20 nitrate. 170ish alk, pho is quite high, but always have been. Around 1.

Anyway, I’m a noob in dosing and didn’t know if anyone else has seen this when they started. Or maybe I should lay off dosing to see if it goes away? Or maybe I answered my own question!?

Had him for a bit and curious to see where I should place him - as far as light/flow in main tank.

Thanks!
