Hammer coral not looking good

All my other euphyllia look great but this guy doesn’t look to happy. Any guesses on why ?? Hammers and frogspawn a inch away from this coral and they are happy....

Have you looked for signs of brown jelly disease? Otherwise your numbers look good assuming they are fairly steady.

Dosing everyday to keep it as stable as possible. About a week ago this gold hammer did what you see in the picture and now won’t open back up like when I first had it . About 3 months in my tank

thinking too close,not all lps are compatable that close

If it’s brown jelly, it’s easily spread to other euphyllia in the tank And can wipe them all out fairly rapidly. I would look up the disease and see if it’s matching what you see in the tank.

I’ve had some success with dipping torches in Kent Marine Lugol’s Solution in the past.

Could be that. I thought I was seeing tissue recession on the right-side head which is further away from the other corals.

What’s poss flatties? It looked like the hammer was splitting when it started acting up. Every since I started to see a 3rd head it has been the way you see it
