Hi I need some advice. I have a orange branching hammer coral that I’ve had for a few weeks. It was puffy open looked happy and then 3 days ago I started to close up and I have no idea why. I have other hammer corals that are doing just fine that are open and happy even splitting. Last night while looking at my tank I noticed my frogspawn is also splitting. I test my water even went to TWO LFS near me they tested my water and everything is fine. But I did noticed that the orange hammer is also growing I’ve noticed 4 baby heads are growing. I’ve read that hammer can close up to conserve energy when sprouting news heads but idk I was wondering if anyone had any advice. Here’s some pics.

Have you seen any brown jelly coming out of the mouth?
No but the mouth is open currently. For some reason it’ll puff a little then shrink again. But don’t see any brown jelly. I have noticed it’s flesh looking a little weird got pictures.
