Much to my dismay, my new hammer and grape cristata have gone from looking healthy and happy to having some shriveling in their skeletons overnight. All of my other corals are completely fine. I got these two last week. :(

Googling first takes me to coralrtn.com or some such and tells me that their miracle potion is the only way. BRS says to frag and dip to try to save what I can.

What should I do?

They both actually look fine. But yes, you could dip in something like Reef Primer.
Do they?? That's a relief. Is it normal for them to kind of sink in like that when they were so straight before?

To me, yeah. I mean, I'd probably need to see them waving around in a short video - but they don't look unhealthy.
