Hammer not looking good

[TCseh]

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?

White pictures?

Point out the bubbles.

List your parameters. How long have you had the coral?

Sometimes flesh recedes when going into a new tank.

I'll get my parameters.

Look at the second picture near the polyps on the flesh.

New to you?
Par?

Par?

I don't have a par meter. It was at the bottom of my tank and I run two kessil 360x for 12 hours a day and it goes up to 75% power for 2 hours.

I see new heads emerging on stem which mine often do. Assure calcium is no less than 380-400

Keep it out of the sand.
How is the flow? Medium and random?

Yes

Another thing about this coral is that I got it over a month ago, and shipping was delayed and the tips of the tentacles all fell off. So it has been recovering since.

Yes by medium and random.

This is when first received?
Flesh slightly receded, not to bad.
Post parameters when you get a chance.

 

[TCseh]

Amonia 0
nitrite 0
Ph 7.75
Nitrate 10-15ppm
Phosphate don't exist

 

[TCseh]

This might be the problem

May as well post magnesium and calcium as well.

This is what I have tested so far. I will post .agnesium and calcium

Hammer is closed because I took it out of the tank in a frenzy to get it glued. Because I thought the problem could be not enough light. Is this possibly to much flow? It is more than it was getting.

 

[Goaway]

Looks alrightbto me, could lower flow to assist in tissue recovery.

Several of my hammers are in sps flow. They adjust polyps as needed, but aren't sick either.

[TCseh]

Alkalinity 10.1
Calcium 200
Magnesium 1170

 

[TCseh]

I have kalkwasser and red sea Magnesium. Anything else I should dose to raise those numbers?

 

[asome_one]

Arent we shooting for MG of 1300+ and Cal 400+ Whats your water change schedule or dosing schedule? I wanna see if I'm right in my assumption that you should hold off on dosing kalk since your alk is elevated but your calcium is lower. I would want an calcium only boosting solution. But I believe you need to raise Mag above 1280 for Ca to stabilize. Simple solution might be just a large water change....depending on what salt your using and what alk, cal, and mag its mixing to at 1.026
Edit:
tank looks pretty new, might not have great success with Euphillas yet. I know I am struggling in my nanos despite being able to grow lps well.
