I dont know if the ammonia and nitrate could be a problem, but I grow quite a lot of hammer and it sounds like it is definitely reacting to something. what is the flow on it and how old is the tank? also, I do agree with the above that it is bleached. plus the already missing heads are suspicious. I would say it probably needs better lighting as well. I would also try to raise you SG (slowly) to about 1.026. I find my hammers do better with that.
edit: just noticed your temp. I agree that is way to high
The hammer color changed to more green after it was feed. I suspect it has been under-feed. There are also flowerpot coral in this tank so increasing the SG to 1.026 doesn't seem to be an option. They are ultra sensitive and I don't feel comfortable changing any spec until I have the reef roids in my hand. Right now the flowerpot coral are only eating flake food but are currently fully bloomed.
