I didn't realize until today how excessive the flesh loss is. The polyps have not been extended for two days now, and the flesh looks bubbly.
What could be the broblem?

I see new heads emerging on stem which mine often do. Assure calcium is no less than 380-400

Keep it out of the sand.
How is the flow? Medium and random?
Yes

Another thing about this coral is that I got it over a month ago, and shipping was delayed and the tips of the tentacles all fell off. So it has been recovering since.

This is when first received?
Flesh slightly receded, not to bad.
Post parameters when you get a chance.

Hammer is closed because I took it out of the tank in a frenzy to get it glued. Because I thought the problem could be not enough light. Is this possibly to much flow? It is more than it was getting.

Looks alrightbto me, could lower flow to assist in tissue recovery.

Several of my hammers are in sps flow. They adjust polyps as needed, but aren't sick either.

Arent we shooting for MG of 1300+ and Cal 400+ Whats your water change schedule or dosing schedule? I wanna see if I'm right in my assumption that you should hold off on dosing kalk since your alk is elevated but your calcium is lower. I would want an calcium only boosting solution. But I believe you need to raise Mag above 1280 for Ca to stabilize. Simple solution might be just a large water change....depending on what salt your using and what alk, cal, and mag its mixing to at 1.026
Edit:
tank looks pretty new, might not have great success with Euphillas yet. I know I am struggling in my nanos despite being able to grow lps well.
