Usu hammer are quite hardy - it is usu affected by a few parameter - namely high nitrate ( > 30 ppm), temp (28 degreeswould be ideal ) and lighting (strong lights not needed generally 150W should suffice but I have try with 250W ... no ill effect though )

Hope it helps.

I agree with sapient, the euphyllia species are good indicators of your water condition.

I suggest you start looking at all aspects of your water condition and rectify it at the root. :D

I agree with above observations to check nitrate, temperature and lighting.

From you pic, that portion seemed to be shielded from light. You want to try tilting it abit to ensure lights reaches all of them. Some water flow is beneficial to the hammers too.

Hope above helps.
