Ok so I've had euphilias for a while and know that they're very sensitive to alk swings. I've had these guys doing fine for about a year now


But for some weird reason I can't get my hammer to look good again. This was before it started acting up

That's it on the right hand corner. This is my hammer now


My parameters don't really fluctuate they stay at a constant alk 8-9 cal 400-440 mag 1350 and po 0-.2 nitrates 0-.2

I've tried dipping it in coral rx (kinda helped) moving it lower, and increasing/reducing flow. But nothing seems to help it :/ I'd appreciate any ideas. Oh and nothings stung it he was actually the meanest coral I had in my tank before it decided to shrivel up

Maybe your phosphates are a little too high for it? Wall hammers are more sensitve than others. I've noticed if my phosphates start going over .1 that some of my euphyllia don't open up as nice.

The problem is that it needs to go into my tank. Question and headache solved....
