I called them today and they said the lighting is to high. Ph is 7.8. But all other parameters are fine. I added melafix and increased oxg. There is no other corals around it and I had soaked and cleaned the rock I placed it on, just to make sure the rock didn't have any little polyps on it. Moved it off to the side a little out of light.I really doubt light is the issue hammers don't need particularly high light, how long have you had it / parameters? Is there anything else near it?
Yes, everything is fine except for some reason at 8am today my ph took a nose dive then came back up happened yesterday I only know this because it shows up on my Neptune. I don't know what it could be. I did move the coral up, only have the blue LEDs on and started target feeding it. It doesn't look any worse or better ay this point.those corals look like they are on their way to dying if something is not done. The lack of current looks to be at top of the list as the body is sagging over the skeleton. did you have a chance to check parms?
It's been almost a weekHow long have they been in the tank? It's not uncommon for hammers to sulk like that for a few days or more after being transported, dipped and introduced to a new environment with completely different lighting.
A few pics, the first one is an up close picture, the second one shows the approximate location in the tank, and the last picture is the other Coral that is only about 10 inches away from that one and looks fineYes, everything is fine except for some reason at 8am today my ph took a nose dive then came back up happened yesterday I only know this because it shows up on my Neptune.

Melafix reverses coral degradation.You added melafix why?
Age of system, parameter readouts from the last several weeks, how long have you had it?
I've never had to do a dip before, what do you recommend. I honestly have tons of coral that I just stick in the tank and they do fine. I have a leather that I bought as a frag that is over 12" round. So I guess I've just been lucky. I will do testing in morning and postHonestly, i think your focus is misplaced. I've personally never heard of anyone treating coral with Melafix. The stuff is highly regarded as snake oil in the hobby to begin with, but I digress on the validity of its intended use. As @Peter K mentioned; your chemistry (CA/ALK/MG) is what we're asking for. If you have other coral (LPS) doing fine, then this coral may have brown jelly or some other type of issue in which case I would try and do a dip of some sort, maybe revive.
Ph 7.8 ca 310 and salinity 1.024 nitrate 0. Mag 1400. Ph is low along with dkh so I put in aquavito 8.4 in last night. Even took water to store and had him double check it.Do u test for alk, Ca, and salinity ? If so can u provide those parameters for us?
