Should I take this hammer out and try to cut the dying head off. It appears as if the head is just melting away. I cant tell if it's a wall hammer or branching. The heads are very close but it looks as if there is a second head.

What are your parameters? Anything changed? The left side looks toast but the right could pull through. I see the flesh is not very extended down the skeleton. The hammer is in rough shape.
I'm going to retest everything. Logically my other new hammer and blasto are fine. Anemones fine. This one hammer just went to crap. I was adding additional fresh salt water because I am tuning my skimmer and the coral just crapped out.
Hmm.. Maybe salinity?
Ok. So not too low to be alarming. Any livestock in the tank that could nip? Blennies, angels, some inverts? Or sand got in it possibly. Hard to say. Keep in lower flow, keep params stable, leave salinity alone for now to avoid further stress.
I have 2 clowns, a yellow watchman and a Midas Blenny. He is never near the coral. Nothing has been near it. I was going to take a trip to the LFS and get 2 additional hammers. Now I'm worried.
Yeah, doesn't sound like anything that would eat coral.
