Hammer dying?

[jorgeeandreess]

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 this way. Any recommendation? He is going to survive?

can you post your tank params and other tank mates besides the clowns?

What are your parameters? How old is the tank and how long have you had the hammer? How is flow and lighting? This coral does not look good at all. Assuming parameters are good I would move it to a low flow area of the sandbed ASAP and spot feed it as much as possible.

A receding flesh band is not good and it has been on downward spiral for awhile. A declining hammer can go many weeks in decline before it affects its appearance. Your nutrient are extremely low causing it to starve. I think there is a decent chance of bringing at least the large head back. Get phosphate up to.05-1 and nitrate up to 10-15. Place it moderate par and flow and spot with mysis a couple times a week. Best of luck.
