Hello

Has anyone seen the below happen with a walling hammer?

Had the hammer about two months - flesh band has grown and it's expanded to 3x thr size when I bought it

I performed a water change this eve and all of a sudden the hammer flesh looks like it's bubbling and flaking. Also the left hand side is retracting. It seems to change by the minute. Photos attached.

Test results as of this am :

Mg 1320
CA 420
Ammonia 0
Nitrate 2ppm
Phosphate 0.11
Salinity 35
Temp 78

I've just rerun salinity and no movement. Away to test the rest.
