Does any one know what’s the matter with my hammer coral? I have 2 and they’re both looking like the same thing. Not sure what the issue is

Calcium: 380
Carbonate Hardness: 196.9ppm
Phosphate: 0ppm
Nitrate: 0ppm
Salinity: 1.026

Try letting your water pramameters get a little dirtier. N03- 5-10ppm and P04 at trace like .02

Pull your skimmer off line for a day or dose some nitrate or feed a little more.

How's your flow?

They have been in those spots for a while now. They always use to be open.

If your light intensity hasn't changed, same spot and flow is good, water pramameters need adjusting. Increase N03 and P04. Try spot feeding small sized meaty foods with flow off until you can increase your pramameters.
