hammer look like going to dying

[Jakef150]

I checked my paramter info- nit/nit-0 , phos-0 ,ph 8.0/8.2, 1025, 78.8*

All other looks good.

hammer it look like dying cuz it used to be waving now its down.. its like theres no air in it (think of like balloon.. no air in it) .

I think maybe mushroom purple shot toxic cuz its next to hammer .. no?

Thanks

I keep my hammer away from everything except for other euphyllia.

A picture would be very helpful in this case.
Mushrooms don't have sweeper tentacles, so that is doubtful, it would be the other way around.

the top part may not like the water flow and/or lighting. try moving it to another spot. also check your sg.

My 10mp es is on other side of tank...no problem for 3 weeks... Flow is not direct to hammer.. Odd.

But i ll try moving it

Thanks

He is suggesting flow as an issue as the coral looks like it is getting blasted by the flow (we can only go off what we see in the pic )

There are times that the result of a coral not liking where it is placed may not be evident immediately. It can put up with an unfcomfortable placement for x period of time, and then it can start to fail.
Hence the suggestion to move it.

the hammer does not have to be in the direct line of the power head it may be getting a strong under tow. put it where there is very little water flow and give it a few days. what type of light are you using?

dude too much flow will create sweeper tentacles, while i have heard higher in the tank, closer to light will result in better coloring, i keep my lps all in the sand under a metal halide light, they love life.
