Help - Hammer Coral Withering Away
I have had a neon-green hammer coral for about 3-4 months now, and it has been slowly withering away to where 80% of its skeleton is exposed and it only has about 8-10 polyps left on one end. I have moved it around a couple different places in the tank, but it did not improve. I have had another euphylia (torch coral) for about the same time period and it has been doing great, and all water paramerers are fine. I've seen my six-line wrasse and hermits eating the dead polyps, but they don't bother any healthy polyps. Also, its not close enough to anything to get stung. I dose B-ionic daily, DT's twice a week, iodine weekly, trace elements twice a month, and change 20% of the water monthly. Other than the hammer coral the rest of my tank is healthy and thriving. Any ideas?

I recently lost both my hammers, both due to a heat spike I believe, which caused them to get brown jelly disease. Perhaps your tank had a spike in temperature too?

I just lost my hammer,torch,and frogspawn when I added 20lbs. of sand to my tank. I think I might have had an ammonia spike?
