Yesterday, I noticed that one of my branching hammer corals was pretty deflated. Not retracted but the heads don't look plump and the color is not as vibrant. I have other branching hammers that look fine and plump. Water parameters haven't deviated from my normal. I've had this hammer for a few months already and was looking healthy up until yesterday. Any thoughts?

As long as your other corals look OK and your parameters are within reason I wouldn't worry too much about it. A bad day perhaps, but definitely keep your eye on it. If this behavior becomes the norm though then you might have to start making some changes. GL.
 
Looks like the hammer is back to looking normal. Didn't make any changes so glad things are ok now.
