Help! Euphyllia Ancora bailing out!!!

[Dactylopterus]

Short story I went on vacation for a week, when I came back on sunday, the hammer seemed doing well, yesterday it started to bail out in the center and now it's almost entirely out of the skeleton. Is there anything I can do?

I've never seen anything like that. I don't have anything useful to add unfortunately. I hope it recovers for you. Good luck.

Hi,

Could be parasites or cancer. I saved mine in the past. You have to cut the diseased part. With a saw ... Cheer up!

And ... We hope!

I cut the detached side so it doesn't pull all the polyps. the detached part seems healthy, I mean no decomposed tissue or slimy secretions

Very strange. Maybe it will come back and you'll have a nice size frag?

I suspect the Anthelia. My anchor was bailing polyps whe it was getting touched by
the large colony of anthelia near it. I moved it away and it seems much happier.
Although the softies don't sting, the put out some nasty toxins to compete for space.

Good luck.
