Hi, for a while now my hammer coral has 3 Heads and one of them is not doing well, it has been like this for a while I have had the coral for about 7 months, I think I see it a bit longer but cannot tell, some advise is welcome. Thanks

water parameters are all good, the other two heads are fine.

you should post your parameters as others will ask. it could just be a little bit ticked off from something rubbing on it. The heads still look pretty healthy

the salinity looks a tad high, but if its been stable I don't think thats the issue. Corals are just sometimes finicky how long has the two heads been retracted for? Any changes to flow?

Could be flowor too fast change of alk or mg. They don’t like that. Parameters otherwise seems ok to me for hammer.
