Help with my hammer.

[Benedetto84]

. So I've noticed for the past two or so days that part of my hammer has been in completely inside, what would make them do this I've never seen it beforelike this . Looks like the spot is completely empty .

Do you see any brown slime coming from the Hammer?
Try to take it out just to smell it, if it smells rotten your hammer might be a goner.

Instead of thinking its a goner you could try to treat it for a bacterial infection. Worth a shot at least.

I did not see any brownish slime coming from it. It does smell unfortunately. I just don't know what happened to it though. I haven't had any major swings in any of my parameters. Just finished checking them. Only thing I haven't check is mag because I'm waiting on more to come in :/

How would I treat it ?

I had one of mine do the same thing. One if the heads died and the other head is big and full.

It's crazy how fast things happen or weirdly things happen. It was all fine and good then next thing you know I look and it like that. At first I just thought it was mad about something but then it never came back out.

Got that right. At least it's not all dead...

Yeah hopefully it stays that way. Pretty upset about that. Had it for a few months now :/

There's not really a way to treat it other than Iodine dip.
I always had success when I cut the bad part of with a coral band saw as you need a clean cut and after dip it in Iodine to protect from a bacterial disease.

Red sea, seachem or brightwell does the job for you.

 

[Benedetto84]

So pretty much this is what I'm looking for ? Ima check to see if my lfs has it tomorrow if I'm not looks like I'm ordering it .

Just googled. Seems that there is a lot of topics for seachem reef dip. So I might give that a try. Or what ever similar they have at the store .

So I can't find any kind of iodine solution at my lfs. What else could I use that I can get local ?

 

[Joey waid]

You can go to cvs and get providone iodine and use that.
