Only two still haha. Guess I'm just waiting for them to get settled in. They have been through 5 tank changes, but look great still. Just want some for my 120. The originals are back in the 3
 
I think I was typing same time as some other responses. Sg seems low but on a hydrometer they can be off by quite a bit and often are off by .004 in either direction which is big. If your enjoying the hobby this far, I'd suggest a refractometer for sure.

That said, low salinity could cause that issue for sure.

I agree on the salinity. That's a low number for some corals. I keep my tanks at 1.025/6

I see, yeah zoas like to not be messed around with. If you forget about them for a while when you find them there will be more lol.

I think a have one 2 or 3 polyp frag kicking around. Lights are off now though. I could probably make a bigger cut from in my tank but they did not enjoy that last time.

Its hard to say with api. They notoriously wrong. If you are goin to keep coral, you gotta get quality tests. Meanwhile, take a sample to your LFS and post the results.

@cameronh shipped me this test kit. Its been good and accurate every test. Last week my ammonia was 0 this week it was 0.25 which concerns me.
 
So @joshkirkland83 what do you think could be causing my hammer to be closed, shrunken, and skinny. I posted water paramaters and a pic of the hammer before all these posts

Im an lps man especially euphyllia. IME its a combination with you. The ph, alk, and salinity. But we cant say for sure till you get your water tested with good reliable tests.

@joshkirkland83 I will go to my lfs tomorrow and get it tested, and I will post the results. So whats the deal with pH and alkalinity? Are they linked somehow?
