That is weird. All your parameters are fine except for calcium, but that shouldnt cause anything like that to happen to the corals right away. I think your water got messed up somehow. Did you do anything different with this water change? Did you let the saltwater sit for a few days and get circulated? Did you match up the temp and the pH before the water change?

You know what, It sounds like chemical warfare going on. frog spawn and hammers are real agressive. I heard that charcoal in the filtration may help to ease the poison they send out to each other.
Calcium should be higher but that wouldn't make everything close up.

Temp seems fine to me as it's constant.
Whens the last time you changed water filters... age of lights.... how big of tank... how long set up? Just throwing out some extra ideas/questions of possibilities.
