Hammer Receeding

[jorjef]

The same thing has happened to me, almost aways on wall hammers. My scenario goes from all fine, slightly deflated area to flesh just disappearing. It will move along the wall and more flesh will just slough off. I always keep the effected area clean and hope brown jelly doesn't pop up, if it does I suck off with a small 1/4" hose that I run through an acrylic tube which really helps in controlling that I don't vacuum up healthy tissue. Sometimes it just stops on it's own and have had some success in the coral regrowing on the skeleton, others I have had to toss.. I would just watch closely and cross your fingers... I know real insight lol... I have no answer for the question on cause other than I believe my alk may have been too low, below 8.
