Why is my hammer dieing?!!!
I have a 34 gallon solana tank. Its been set up for almost 3 years now and has gone through all kinds of screw ups and bad husbandry. This hammer was the first coral i purchaced and has always pulled through. So why now that i think i have everything running smoothly is it slowly loosing heads?
water params are perfect sg 1.026 temp 79+/- 1deg cal 420 alk 9 dkh ph 8.0 no3 .25 ppm mag 1360 i just finished testing bout 5 min ago so these r current numbers using red sea test kits for mag/ no3/ ph api for the rest any ideas would be apreciated. thanks everyone i haven't moved it from its origonal spot or made any recent lighting changes |

with the heads being lost does it look like a parasite could be eating it? I have seen a friends tank have the same thing happen and the damage was going on during lights out.

Had a wall hammer I have for 6 years die on me when I up graded my tank and left him with LFS as tanks cycled. Never found the cause, I even cut back some of it trying to control the death. Dip it in iodine and separate it from your other corals in case you have a outbrake.
  . Sorry to say if it looks like this you’re more then likely going to lose it.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
