hammer dying

Hello! I have my hammer. Everything was good but today I realized is bleaching and dying. Yesterday it was and it looked very healthy but I have a clownfish (the one that has just 1 white line head to tail) and he was bothered my hammer and my Duncan. I think he stressed my hammer and today look...

I didn't realize until today how excessive the flesh loss is. The polyps have not been extended for two days now, and the flesh looks bubbly. What could be the broblem?

Hi, I’ve been struggling to keep this hammer happy the past few days, during the day it looks some what deflated and during the night it fully retracts and shows skeleton. I’ve been struggling to keep parameters stable the past week. My alkalinity seems to drop from 7.7 to 6.9 in about 3 days...

Hello Recently my hammer corals that I have had for >6months have started to wilt and deflate. For a while I was just keeping an eye on them to see if they would recover, however, it seems to be spreading to some of my other hammers and one hammer has completely lost a head. Tank has been up...

I know this question gets asked a lot. I’ve searched the threads. Looking for a more specific answer. what is going on with this guy? I just lost 1 hammer yesterday - I think he was stung by my mushroom - so I moved the shroom. He was living right below this guy. However this guy has looked...

Does my hammer look ok? One of the branches always is spread open a bit with mouth open a little.

So I've had this hammer for about 6 months and just this past week, it has shrivled up and I can start to see the skeleton. What could've caused this and is it dying? This is one of the oldest corals I have and don't want to lose it! ph: 8.4 ammonia: 0 nitrite: 0 nitrate: 5.0 phosphates: .25

Hi everyone! I recently got my tank cycled and set up since since the start of July (cycled with live rock, Brightwell bacteria, and live sand) and only recently added some corals into the tank (mostly LPS and soft corals). For about two weeks, the corals seemed pretty happy and would be opened...

Hello all, I'm fairly new to reef keeping, and my tank has been established for about 5 months. Stable parameters all in range, alk around 9.3, nitrates 5 ppm or lower, and phosphates sometimes on the high side of .5 (I use a reactor to bring it down below that). Salinity is 1.026, calcium...

I have a SUPER tiny hammer coral. Its starting to have some tissue recession between the heads. it only has two heads and up until about a week ago the tissue between the heads went all the way down and connected. Now the tissue is receding back to where it only has tissue on each individual...

I have been noticing that my hammer’s skeleton has been decaying/being eaten for the last few days. I didn’t want to unglue it to inspect it but my emerald crab knocked it over this morning. I picked it up and saw a clear/white curled up worm or something sucking on the skeleton. It was...

Hey reefers, are my hammer coral ok? I got this frag as one head about a month ago. It’s split into two now. My biocube just cracked so I had to move it to a new tank. It’s opening fine it’s only been in there about two days. I noticed the tissue doesn’t go all the way down the stalk. But I’m...

I got this hammer a little under a week ago. It’s been happy, fluffy and extended. Yesterday it was shriveled up and closed. Today I woke up to this. I’m going to do a water change cuz those can never hurt and I’m hoping this hammer somehow recovers. It’s not looking good.
