I just added a new addition to my tank a gold hammer coral that I got. First I wanna say I acclimated like always which is just adding tank water over a period of time. I have to check my water quality so once that is done I will post that info. But from this picture what are some of your guys thoughts?

Too many variables, it looks like it's polyps are expelling something that isnt normal. Is that another Euphyllia in the background? I'd think that would rule out parameters, unless it was a really drastic change from where you got it and your tank.
 
Looks like its melting, brown jelly disease imo. Stress from shipping likely brought it out bad luck, sorry :(
Just make sure it doesn't get on anything else that stuff spreads easily.
