hammer advice

Hello, Could someone help me with an ID on this flatworm? Maybe 1/4” in size. I have a fairly new mostly lps tank, I have recent lost of hammer which was doing really well for the first few month. I woke up one morning to a head with exposed skeleton, I took it out to dip the coral again (I...

Last night I made an adjustment to my flow as it was a little overwhelming for many or my coral. When I checked the tank this morning, I noticed everyone was happier, but my Hammer and Frogspawn look different - as you can see in the pic, they both are loose. They used to have their tentacles...

In person it looks like a white blob with little spiky looking extrusions. assuming its a sponge? I've noticed it not filling out as much as usual. TIA!!

It only does this at night, then it goes back to normal looking healthy when the lights turn back on. All my parameters are in line so u don't really know what is happening. I ordered some Lps from a guy and none of them had any flesh including this one, and they are all acting funny for the...

Hi all, I have no idea on what this white cotton like stuff is growing in one of my hammers. I read somewhere that it might be a Pineapple Sponge, but I have no idea…the thread had very blurry photos. These are the clearest photos to try and ID what the heck is this. TIA for all the help!

I recently noticed my hammer corals mouth keeps coming out (if that is in fact his mouth). Usually it just happens for a couple of minutes then it’s covered up again. However I am worried that something is wrong. I just got the coral roughly 5 days ago. Checked salinity and all other levels and...

Hello, My hammer randomly does this and hasnt looked fully inflated and happy since i bought it. Water parameters are normal. I just moved it a little higher on my aquascape in hopes of getting more light/flow. .

Okay so in order of photos. Hammer when introduced, then hammer reciding, moved it and still did. Away from home three days, wife says that it looks weird. And come back to last photos in set. Then decided hey nice host bio material at the very least. Back in tank. And my dreams was true seems...

Hey Everyone, Just looking for some advice on my Hammer Coral. I feel it’s not doing to great and has constantly been bent over to one side. Not sure what the issue is as I can’t find anything online. I’ve attached a pic Current Parameters Salinity:1.025 Calcium:410 Mag:1320 Alk 7.4

Got a hammer 1 week ago. Was doing perfectly fine till i saw my hermit one day eating at it and it had fallen off the rock. Now 2 days later it fully receded and you can see the skeleton. The little tentacles are completely loose and not puffy and it looks dead. The head at the back looks alive...

I recently dosed magnesium like an idiot since I got hair algae and someone more experienced said magnesium allows more species of algae to grow so hair algae will get out competed. So I dosed 4ml of fritz RPM mag. I am unsure if before or after the mag spike is when the hammer started acting...

Our hammer coral retracted all of its polyps about two weeks ago and it's skeleton is fully exposed now. There are a few other hammers in the tank - most of which are well and thriving, so I'm not sure that it's has to do with the tank itself? We've already dipped it and nothing came out...

I got my first hammer coral a couple of days ago and it's opening up quite well, but then I saw this (red circle on the pic). What is this? Is it normal or something bad?

Hi reefers. I need some help with my new Hammers. I got these two from a well respected LFS just under two weeks ago at the same time I upgraded my lights to two Radion G6 XR15 blues on my 140 gallon mixed reef tank. I was told to put them at 140 PAR, which I did (I have a PAR meter). They...

Hi, I’ve been struggling to keep this hammer happy the past few days, during the day it looks some what deflated and during the night it fully retracts and shows skeleton. I’ve been struggling to keep parameters stable the past week. My alkalinity seems to drop from 7.7 to 6.9 in about 3 days...

started my first reef tank 3.5 months ago, got this hammer 5 days ago not realizing it was wall and not branching. i understand that these are much harder to keep and while it’s opening up and looking happy during the day, i’m noticing a little tissue recession and some exposed skeleton. i’ve...

I had accidentally hit one of my hammers last week during a water change and the one branch broke off; it was a clean break though and all looked fine with the main hammer. I put the broken piece in my other tank. This morning I looked in my tank and I noticed that the main stem is breaking...

Would anyone have some insight as to what’s going on with this hammer? The polyps on one of the heads seem to be receding in the middle? Thanks!

Gold Hammer head in photo seems to be a grumpus, not sure why? grumpus meaning shorter closed polyps and what seems to be like the gold colored polyp heads flapping, almost handing on by threads nearby corals seem to be doing well, perhaps stinging? Not sure! Help! Haha would love any...

Hello. Got a question about hammer coral as this is my first time having one. I know they prefer moderate light and flow and while I thought I was providing that it seems maybe it was still a little to much. Some of the polyps retracted back into the skeleton. Since then I’ve dialed things in...

Have this one head on this hammer, that I got a week ago not wanting to open today, the other 4 heads look just fine, any thoughts on why it doesn’t want to open fully today?

I purchased my first coral recently, a hammer coral, and want to make sure I properly dip the coral before placing it in the tank. I have read about dipping in CoralRX as well as dipping in Lugol's iodine solution and have several questions: (1) Should I do both back to back? If so, should I...

Had this white stuff growing on one side of my hammer for about 3 weeks anyone know what it could be?

Hello Recently my hammer corals that I have had for >6months have started to wilt and deflate. For a while I was just keeping an eye on them to see if they would recover, however, it seems to be spreading to some of my other hammers and one hammer has completely lost a head. Tank has been up...
