Hammer receding

After ramping up my lights almost 10% over 2 weeks or so, a hammer I've had for 4 months started receding a few days ago. Not sure what the best course of action should be.

What type of lights and what percentage are you at? I would either turn them down or get the hammer into a more shaded area.

Have you been feeding your hammer?

Pics?

Twin Maxspect razors. I'm running them at 68% (^ from 50% slowly) white and 100% blue at peak.
I have been feeding, seems to be eating.

I'm guessing if you don't see any brown jelly disease or anyone picking on it then the white level is to intense. I know all leds are different but on my Reef Breeders I run my white channel at 3 and my blues at 70. I used to run it at 40 white and 60 blue but want happy with the growth and coloring, so I started to make adjustments.
