Nope not at all, definitely doesn't look like a pest

Could just be new polyps. The skeleton of the coral reminds me of a bubble coral but I can see the hammer shapes on the tentacles.

here is a little better pic

It could be new growth, it has the same color as the polyps...

 

[Theo15]

Does anyone know about the growth pattern of wall hammers ?

The coral looks like it has a decent amount of exposed skeleton and looks retracted. New addition? If it's recovering could be new growth, if it's declining then its loosing flesh.

Its night time in the reef ,everything is closed up

Its not new but I can't get it to fully open I tried everything

Gotcha just seems to be more closed then the couple I had got at night. Still say it's either of the two, more then likely new growth if it's been doing well otherwise.

It use to open a lot bigger but stopped idk what else to do , parameters are good

Any recent changes to the sytems? Moved corals near or away from it?

I know they can't tolerate flow that much so I moved it to a very low flow area under the powerhead

 

[Invader_Moose]

Depends on the type of flow direct intense flow is a no go but decent indirect flow to get the polyp flowing is good. Any recent large water changes? All equipment running appropriately?

No it's been like this for a little while , even with water changes it still like this , everything else is fine my sps are encrusting and lps are all fat ,this is what it use to look like...

Looks like pyramid snails....
Upon further review and the last picture, I can’t give an honest opinion... [emoji51]

Dang, that's gorgeous, wish I had an answer for you. Hope it comes through.

I had this branching one next to a Kenya Tree. Moved the Kenya Tree to the side of the tank and

Next day it looked like this... Only thing effected.

Its not a pest , I looked even closer and I could see that it is part of the flesh it's been there in the same position for days now
