Help hammer coral issue

1 Attachment(s)

Hi All
I’m new to the hobby. I received a tank from a friend, the tank has been running for 5yrs.
My hammer coral looks horrible. The stem seems to me deteriorating. Thought?

If you recently moved the tank then the water chemistry is going to be bad just because the sand bed gets all messed up. The only thing you can do is frequent water changes, run purigen and chemipure.

Replace PH with DKH. Alkalinity not PH should be measured.

The heads look good, in time it will outgrow the bad area. If it gets brittle you could gently apply epoxy puddy for frags as a sort of cast.

I've never seen a coral where the body has deteriorated like this.

Was this pushed into a sand bed?
