Hey guys,

I've been having trouble with my hammer coral for some time. It developed few heads but it looks like it's drying out from the bottom. Do you have any idea what could be causing it?

Thanks!

I haven't tested water in a while since everything is growing well except this hammer. So I don't know my parameters at the moment except for the salinity and temp which is 1.025 and 78F.

Hope these pictures are better.

Really need the parameters. Does it look to you that the flesh band is receding? No pests on the coral?
 
getting parameters would by very helpful and possibly achieve better help than just guessing what’s wrong with them.
