Hammer Coral Help

My best advice is this from seeing your corals. Place the coral in one spot and stop moving it. From my experiencing. You glue the coral down when you get it and you don't ever move it. Leave it alone.

Concentrate your time on the water quality and you will have no issues.
 
Also LPS (hammers, octospawn, torches) all love random flow and thrive under the conditions. Do you by chance have a pic during the day? Would like to see with more white light.

I have all three in my aquarium thriving. Some times when changing environment they take a bit to get settled in.

That is interesting. I see the change in the tips. It went from hammer to like a bubble tip. I have heard people say that the lighting effects may have an effect on the tips. I have never had that happen to me and I have used both MH and Led's. Its not a sign of the coral dying or anything. I have heard people say they have had hammers change like that after years in the aquarium for no apparent reason.
 
Sorry I cant answer that. You will have to wait for someone with hands on experience with that chime in. I"m not for sure if anyone really knows why they change. I do think its very rare though.
 
Since your tank parms are in line. This is just a guess on my part. Maybe the coral is not getting some type of supplement that it needs right now. YOu may want to try and add some Strontium and Molybdenum supplement to your regular maintenance schedule and maybe a good mineral vitamin drops to see if that helps. Give it a month or two to see if it helps. It cant hurt.
