Hammer coral

[Aqua Monster]

Hi Reefers seeking your advise. My 3 head hammer - 1 head shrunk, 1 head looks very dull and 3rd one looks normal for past 2 days. Hence I shift to another place and accidentally pressed the 1st head and now can see the skeleton. Pls advice is it dead ? How to save the other heads.

your water parameters ok mah? Alk? phos-nitrate? did u do any major changes recently? if water is off, recommend do a water change, if u dont see any brown jelly coming out, should be safe, once u see brown jelly, u need to cut off the infected head otherwise will spread, go google brown jelly disease. Recommend dont stress the coral further if u dont see visible infection, go downhill fast..

i dont think so, mg demand is low for corals, how u get so high resolution for MG, got 0.7 somemore ah, hanna got MG tester meh? for LPS my experience is torch is most easy to up the lorry, hammers and frogspawn seems to be more hardy

if u confirm is accident den should be ok as long no infection, what about ur nitrates and phosphate?

since u got 1 head is normal, u got check for anything irritating the other two heads. Pests?

lastly, if still cannot find reason, to be safe i would suggest u do daily 10% water changes for 1 week to help smooth things out, certain things in the water we cant test. Just sharing my 2 cents. Good luck bro
