Ammonia spike

Hi, looking for a little advice I have had a hammer coral for 3 weeks or so and it started well was extending nicely and feeding but I had a problem with a power head and it was off for about day until I noticed that it had gone off. I turned it back on and since then my hammer coral has not been extending like it was before. As my tank is still fairly new I have been doing a weekly water test and everything has been fine but I did a test today to see if I could work out what was wrong with my coral and my readings were

26/12/2020
Calcium 420
KH 8
Salinity 1.025
Amm 0.5
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 0
Phosphate 0

I have detectable ammonia so I am getting ready for a large water change but is there anything else I can do?

Ammonia has always been 0 since the cycle but I dunno if this is also because the powerhead was off as the water is a tiny bit cloudy today which is also not normal.

Advice appreciated to get my coral back on track.

Thanks
