Hammer coral help !?

[ChadC]

What’s going on with my hammer coral ?! All my parameters are correct, only thing I did recently is add a garlic supplement to aid in an ich problem, would this cause my hammer coral to look like this ?

Moved over to LPS for better response. One thing I would suggest is posting actual parameters.

What is your Alkalinity?
No Phos and very little nitrates. To clean in my opinion. I keep my tank at 78-79 degrees and .3-.5 phos and nitrates are like 20-30 last time i checked. My euphyllia are all plump and growing. Medium to low flow medium to low light

My last test of ALK was 196.9 dkh. I wonder if it could be the garlic that would have caused it.

It has been running for 2 months...but I moved from a 90 Gal to a 125. The 90 Gal has been running for 2 years.

That 196.6 is Ppm or parts per million. That would be around 11 DKH. Not sure if garlic would do because i never put that in my tank. I think your tank is too clean and Alk a bit high. But if your Alk is swinging then that could be your problem. From my experience my euphyllia hate the slightest change. After water change they all close upba bit
