Two of my 3 hammers seem to be losing polyps. Are they sick? Is this a disease, or maybe my little emerald crab, or something else?

Parameters:
pH 8
Alk 8.5
Ca 425
Nitrate 0.3 (was 0 for possibly up to a week, I added some nitrates after I saw that)
Phos .06
Mg 1300

I maintain levels with All For Reef and everything besides nitrate and phos have been very stable for months.

My euphyllia like nitrates above 3ppm. We dose ammonia.
