chasingcorals17 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Hammer coral lost the purple/green color and went to a faint white. No tissue loss or polyp bailout (for now) but the polyps aren’t opening. I’ll post a before pic and after pic since I moved tanks. But oddly enough you can see that the frogspawn and tiny new hammer polyps are colorful and extending, albeit not as much since the tank move. The par is around 80 in that spot. AFTER PIC IS LIGHTS OFF BUT DOESNT CHANGE HOW THE POLYPS EXTEND/LOOK DURING DAY the only thing I can think is the light drop off since it’s in a longer tank and I have yet to get another light but I have a spare fluval evo stock light that can hold 100 par at the sand bed over it. already lost my biggest frogspawn from polyp bailout and don’t want to lose anything else. Tank is very uneasy right now params: nitrates 20 ph 8.1 alk: 11 calc: 460 mag: 1360 Quote Link to comment
Jaren45 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 If you just moved it to a new tank, just give it time to settle in. That's a lot of stress for a coral and I wouldn't expect it to look 100% right away Quote Link to comment
