Ordered from corals anonymous and my package got delayed by ups due to a “mechanical error” so they showed up a day later and are looking sort of rough. So I paid $120 for 2 hammers and $40 in overnight shipping that wasn’t overnight. I just acclimated them and put them in the tank and it looks like they’re developing some brown jelly or dropping tentacles from the stress as they arrived fairly cold. Anything I can do to try and recover them. This is the third mishap I’ve had with ordered corals this month really sucks. Tried to order them from another place and they had a heater explode the day before my order was supposed to go out. Ordered them as a replacement for some hammers that came unhealthy from my lfs

If you have some Reef Primer a dip in that may help with BJD (you need to remove the affected areas as well if that's the case). I've had good results treating BJD with it - but it's not always 100% successful.
 

Just grow it: Have you ever added CO2 to your reef tank?
