I don't feel that the Hammer is "closed" as much as its tissue appears to be receding.

It is difficult to tell you much from this picture.

Please tell us:

1. What lighting you have.
2. Are you using power heads to create extra flow?
3. What are your Phosphate numbers?

Also, please post a picture of your complete tank. A picture is worth 1000 words.

Hi, can you take a picture in white lights only please? Its hard to see in blue.
Any other corals in your tank, how are they?

One week is not much time, I usually give about 2 ish months before I try a different spot.

 

[Mathol]

I have two reefled 90 running 23k schedule and two reefwave 45 for the flow

Well... you appear to have good flow, and your PO4 doesn't appear to be the issue.

Hammers do not require a tremendous amount of light and flow to be happy.

While the tank is lit, I'm wondering if you are getting enough PAR. Perhaps try moving it closer to the light.

Dead.

[Mathol]

[Minifoot77]

[Mathol]

Oh ..

What fish are in the tank?

An emperor but he didn’t nib the coral , a hippo tang , copper band , fox face , clowns , a royal gramma

 

[Minifoot77]

The emperor i would keep an eye on they are known to eat corals if I remember correctly but I know others can go rouge too looks like a relatively new tank id wait another month or so and try again with a hammer.

 

[Minifoot77]

Also what size is the tank?
