Whats happening to my corals!

Your describing mine when it is doing this. I might be missing something.

I thought when a hammer poop is brown and not invisible lines i could be wrong

Looks like it’s pooping lol

More lines coming out of it

And heres a video of the lines floating in the tank that came out of the hammer

 

[vetteguy53081]

Thin lines coming from it any idea!!

Lower your lights a little. Looks like the coral is expelling zooanthellae which is its color and energy source and often occurs when there is too much light, calcium below 390 and feeding of powdered foods. I feed mine Mysis shrimp at least twice a week.

My calcium is 420. I fed frozen to my fish this morning. And iv had the hammer for 6 days. The par in this area around 100.

If its new, allow to adjust . Sounds like this is Just happening and should subside in 48-72 hours

Looks like recession and may be from too much water flow. Polyps should be swaying like leaves in the wind not vigorous or too little

Theres litterally perfect sway flow when it opens. Do i just leave it and observe? Or what do i do!

Observe, after a couple of days feed and see if it responds to feeding . Best location is lower third of the tank

Some of mine

I got brown jelly, and i removed the hammer this
Morning. Is my tank infected now?

IF brown jelly, siphon up the mass with a 3/8" tube and even peroxide dip with 3% standard peroxide. Can you update photo showing BJD?

I can't see the threads but I agree with what @Troylee said. It's "possible" but I would consider it unlikely the threads might be zooxantheallae being released and the beginnings of bleaching, If you see more pastel colors develop as teh golden brown zooxanthellae are lost I'd say it was either the conditions of your system are very different than what it was growing in or it had a problem before you got it.

It died brown jelly

Brown jelly doesn’t come out of the mouth… did you take any pics before you tossed it? Brown jelly doesn’t make any sense since you showed a white string floating in the tank.
