I can’t believe how much this hammer has changed. I have a thread about this, I purchased the hammer from a reputable LFS knowing it looked a little off but I really liked the color. It started declining soon after. So I decided to start spot feeding with Benepets Reef and LPS and then added Korallen-Zucht LPS amino Acids, Coral’s Love and Coral Vitalizer. The first ones are its decline before adding the above diet, and the last picture was today. Mind you, every other coral, including hammers I have, have been fine. This was the only one affected. It definitely seemed stressed post dip, but luckily it seems to be on the rebound!
