Skeleton that is shaped like messenterial filaments. Before the hammer died it was next to a gsp colony. For almost a year the gsp stayed retracted whenever the hammer touched it. But the tables turned. I looked one day and the flesh of the hammer that was touching gsp colony was detached and the hammer skeleton became exposed.

If thats the case i have no idea! Some kind ossification disease???? Maybe a random mutation?

If anything its pretty cool... a bummer the coral died
