Could some one tell me what could be wrong with the hammer head pictured. The center branch seems to be dying What can I do.
Thanks

take a close up picture. - It can be alot of things.
Did it fall? - Did something hit it?
When did it happen? When did it start?...etc etc.

i noticed it a few days after I added the frog spawn coral. I also noticed my emerald crab cleaning near it. could it have just been injured. some times it seems to try an open up for a short time but then closes back up. here are my water perameters
amonia 0
nitrite 0
nitrate 1
ph 8.3
1.024 sg
calcium 440
kh 8
thanks for your reply

They're too close together, i bet the frogspawn stung the hammer.

when I put the frog spawn in there it was not open I thought I had enough space between them. thank you. should the frogspawn be on the sand or up on the rocks?

should be on rock. look like you have chemical warfare going right now

I was under the impression that frogspawns, hammers, and torches can not sting each other since they are all in the same family? I have torches, hammers, and frogspawns touching, have had for years, with no ill effects.

Nope, although they are all in the Euphyllia sp. family they can still do damage to each toehr with their sweeper tentacles.

i would move them apart more also as a 1st step and see what happens
