Thanks.

 

I did my weekly 50% WC after I dipped the coral, so hopefully that'll help things out a little. The hammer seems to have stopped making so much mucus, and I can see a few polyps peeking out just a bit. Hopefully, I'll see some changes by tonight.

 

The problem with fragging is that it's a single head. You can't really frag a head, can you? 

A 50% Water change is far too large and weekly is far too often. These organisms are from the stability of the billions of gallons in the ocean. a 10% water change no more often than a week is as much as you want to be doing regularly. I am not surprised the corals are dying/struggling.  New water is never the same as the water in the tank… It needs to be up to temperature and large air bubbles need to be put through it for 48 hours prior to use. Also, the supply of water needs large air bubbles through as soon as it is produced… The reasons for this are beyond the scope of this post.
