Wounded Hammer!

CroMag676 · Mar 18, 2024

Is there anything I can do for this guy or is he done? I don't know what happened and it's been like this for a couple of weeks at least. I couldn't tell that the flesh was pulled back until I took the attached photo.

I have a bottle of Professor Polyp's Bubble Bath if that will help it.

Alkalinity – 7.6 dKH (8.5 is the goal)

Calcium – 500 ppm (440 is the goal)

Magnesium – 1377 ppm

PO4 – 0.05 ppm (Hanna ULR)

NO3 – 16.3 (Hanna HR) (5.0 is the goal)

I have a branching frogspawn where one of its heads on the backside were pushing into a kenya tree, only noticed when the head was bailing to the point that it was drooping and swinging in the current. I scooted the rock it was on away a little, fully expecting that head to be dead anyway and it recovered.

Just keep it safe and stable and you might have a chance.
