Hammer Polyp Bail

[Eoka]

I had a polyp bails right in the middle of my hammer. Im thinking it was because it couldnt get light but now there is this big bleach spot. Will this spread? Brown stuff is reef roids I just fed.

Either lack of light or flow. I might consider not feeding directly for a couple of days but usually when one head bails that doesn’t mean the rest will if water parameters are good and stable. What are your parameters like by the way?

I havent test this week but last time i tested
Alk-7.2
Calc- 480
Mag- 1250
Did not test nutrients
My big concern is the white part on that big polyp head. What does that mean?

Just skeleton showing. I’m not concerned. Sometimes a head will bail and the rest will be fine. From a location perspective I can see how lack of flow may have caused it. I will say that sometimes target feeding too frequently can irritate them so just keep an eye out for that.

Okay thanks. I'll keep that in mind.
