To my understanding all hammers can touch and the only corals next to it are all hammers.Can you move the one that's not doing well? Could be coral warfare. Maybe upload an image of the one that's not doing well?
Kind of looks like a Frammer (Frogspawn Hybrid Hammer) There's variations of these in the hobby. But they (Frogspawn and Hammers) typically have the same care requirements, and can co-exist normally without any issues.
Branching hammer, most likely Indonesia, hammers don’t really do warfare in the same genus
thats already in another forum, this one was just for identification of this one hammerKind of looks like a Frammer (Frogspawn Hybrid Hammer) There's variations of these in the hobby.

Give us photos about your other hammer and what's "not doing well" about it instead.
Yeah, I don't think that's a hammer. Looks more like a torch and it isn't happy they way the tissue is receded off the skeleton.
It’s a branching hammer, you won’t find another name for itthats already in another forum, this one was just for identification of this one hammer
where do you see the receding tissue on this one?Yeah, I don't think that's a hammer. Looks more like a torch and it isn't happy they way the tissue is receded off the skeleton.
So, water parameters?
And definatly need pic of other coral that's "not" happy.
This really looks more like a torch (or cristata) to me. The pic is a little blurry so I could be wrong, but I don't see any mis-shapen tips (they are all round), and none of the tentacles are branching (like you'd see in a frogspawn). If it IS a torch, then it likely won't get along well with a hammer or frogspawn.
All three heads are like that and that how I brought it from the lfs in December. And when this hammer opens up it become more wide and I never seen an issue with it receding.One area of tissue recession is circled in red. Healthy branching euphyllia and fimbriaphyllia have tissue growth well down the branch, covering the skeleton.
I understand, and a lot of them do look like yours. But you asked where we saw recession, so I wanted to give you an answer. As long as it doesn't continue to lose tissue, it's probably fine.All three heads are like that and that how I brought it from the lfs in December.
