Hammer Corals dying?

[edm3d]

Are these hammer corals dying from BJD? These were taken at night with phone light on so that's why the polyps are retracted, but they have not been opening as much as they used to when I first bought them about 12 days ago. They have been opening up during the day, but they don't seem as full as they used to :(

No BJD yet.

No BJD yet.

Is the brown on the flesh part normal on hammers? I didn't really pay attention to the color when I first bought them, but I took a look at my torches and the fleshy part looks white compared to the hammers.

Yes. The flesh can be white or brown.

Here are my parameters

Ammonia/Nitrite Not Tested
Salinity 1.026
Nitrate 5ppm
Phos 0.03ppm
Mag 1260ppm
Alk 8.2dKH
Calc 400ppm

Tank has been up since March 10th
Everything else is doing exceptionally well except for one of my torches which has since been removed from the tank.

I actually checked on it this morning and the hammers are doing much better now! I was just being very paranoid cause I had to deal with that one torch having BJD. So I did a hard visual inspection of all my other euphilia and the hammers were looking off to me. I have not changed anything and they seem better now lol

That's how all my hammers and frog spawn look in my new tank. Only time they were good was under almost no flow and low light.

Woah! What is that?

Just a random photo of a hammer at night. Had never seen anything like it. That was about a year and a half ago and it’s probably got 20+ heads at this point
