It looks like a frammer, imo.
Yor alkalinity is Six? Phosphate .004? Are you sure about that? If so your Alk is way low. Push it up to 7 minimum or better yet 8 (slowly). The phosphate is non existent. You should be .05 to .1. You may be starving it. I lost 2 torches to low phosphates.Why does my hammer coral look like this? When i see other people's hammers they look full and bushy.

Looks like a combo of a bunch of different uglies? Is the tank newer? You definitely have a nutrient problem from the looks of your tank. I agree alk is low and would bump it to 7 but I don’t think that’s the issue.

Start by getting alk in the 7.5-8 range. Do this over 2 days of dosing and then maintain. Keep it in range for 2 weeks before trying anything different. Next step will be verifying calcium and magnesium.
