Is that dark ring around the end flesh of those frogspawn something to worry about?

Was wondering if I should buy iodide since I have a few of these corals an hammers. If anything was to happen would iodide help? And should I do a dip for this coral?

Yeah that’s possible but I’ve never seen that. How about this? These hammers were in another tank with higher nutrients and when moved to my main tank the flesh is acting weird, they’re both branching a bunch of little heads. My main tank has somewhat low nutrients, around 0.05 phosphate and 2.5 nitrate

420 calc, 8.5 dkh. Salinity is 1026, the other tank had natural sea water levels as I wouldn’t dose and just use sea water for water changes. So maybe that’s stressed the hammers?
