Does anybody know what causes hammer heads detaching from the skeleton ?

Yes. Death.
I had this happen for a while and lost old hammer, torch and frog spawn colonies and new frags, as well as almost all my acro and acans. The only odd things I found were through a triton test, copper and zinc were both elevated. Monti, stylos, zoas, birdsnest and many other corals unaffected. I since cleared up those issues alone, and now have acro, hammer, torch, and frogspawns and acans doing quite well again.
Highly suggest a triton test.

Along with the above stated there could have been a parasite or just any other number of un knowns.What are your h20 parameters at?

When I had a nitrate spike (after discontinuing vodka dosing) I had polyp bailout. Did some large water changes and got back on the juice and I was able to save the rest. I had a hammer that lost 3 out of 8 heads or so. Have you done any basic testing lately?
