Hey y'all!
Quick question.
I have a hammer, probably about 9 months to a year or so. Same skeletal size the whole time. He has been puttied to the same rock for about 6 months. No water quality issues, just did a round of tests and all are within normal operating ranges. No spikes or anything.
Normally he deflates and sinks into his skelly at the end of the white photoperiod (i.e. Bedtime) but the past week he has only deflated, not sank in.
Tonight he is deflated but I see this:
You see the white tissue between the skeleton and the polyps/tentacles. I've never seen this before. Is he trying to split or is something wrong? Polyp bailout? Does that even happen to hammers?
Notes:
1) No other coral behaving out of the normal, even my sps were fully extended today. Acans and zoa are fine as well.
2) fish are happy and swimming around. Clown is in his normal sleeping area. Only new addition was a "v" named acro that I can't remember off the top of my head last week that was dipped.
3) Skimmer is pulling out a lot of skimmate.
4) I am tossing in a bag of chemipure elite as I type just in case my frag of toadstool (who is the indicator in my tank and he's fine) went postal with chem warfare.
Please help me figure out what the heck is going on!
