Hammhead Issue?

Hey, I bought these two heads last weekend off a local reefer which was fragged the same day I took it home. This is the 2nd time I noticed this come from my hammers, the first pic is whilst it has this discharge and the other two about an hour later. Is this just stress or could there be a bigger problem? Any advice would be great!

They just look stressed from my limited experience. Being fragged and then immediately transported isn't ideal. Did you compare parameters to the donor tank as well as lighting levels? I usually acclimated my euphyllia frags on the sand bed for a couple of days before moving them up.

It depends where the slime is coming from. It could be pooping or from stress.

 

Ensure its not in a high flow area. They don't like high flow.

 

Since they were just fragged they will be stressed and they need time to acclimate to your tank.

 

Ensure you alk, ca, and mag are good with no swings.
