Is my hammer okay??

[SourAngelfish]

Okay, my salinity is 1.025, Nitrates are 5-6 and my ammonia and nitrite are zero. Everything else in my tank is doing excellent and I got this new hammer a while ago. He’s been in here for about a month and the Urchin and hermits were kinda rolling on top of him and irritating him. I moved him today and he seems to be doing a lot better. He does have some whitish stripes though, do I need to be worried? I have yet to see him expell any zooxanthele.

No it should be fine. Mine did this today and I had to clean my tank, when I put it back in, it slowly lost the white stripes! Anyways, good luck!
