Hi!
So recently I bought a hammer coral and it was doing great for the first few days and then all the sudden it closed up and has stayed closed for the past 4 or 5 days. The water has gotten cloudy since then I’m not sure if it is the hammer that is causing this? All the other corals in the tank have not been looking as happy now either.
My latest water test showed
Ammonia-0
Nitrite-0
Ph-8.0
Alk-13
Calcium380
Phosphate-0
Salinity-1.025
The only thing I’ve really been able to think of is the Alk since the coral was used to being around 8.5 and now it’s at 13 but people I have talked to said that wouldn’t be affecting the coral and I don’t know if that would make the water cloudy.
This is in a 10g nano so would it be best to remove the hammer if that is what is causing the cloudy water?
I also did a decent size water change yesterday hoping it would help clear everything up but the water is still looking pretty cloudy today.
