Please read whole post. Sorry for length.
Wondering if we have any euphylia experts in here? Every coral in my tank is doing fine and one of my hammer heads is doing great, but one is having bailout and the other is about to say screw this also.
Note: sand is not a perm spot for it either. I just wanted it out of the direct flow so it can adjust to the water.
I have it in the back while it acclimates to the tank some more and where the flow isn't doing anything other than a normal wiggle for it. I'm running the same lighting that they run at WWC from the tank it came out of actually as well.
Tank is a few months old with established livestock and a nice collection of acan, mushroom, candy canes, zoas, star polyps, Kenya tree, and some other coral.
Parameters are fine as well.
Tank: 15g peninsula
Salinity - 1.026
Temp - 77.9
pH - 8.2
Ammonia- 0
Nitrites - 0
Nitrates - 6.4ppm
Phosphates - 0.07
dKH - 8.5
Calcium - 410
Magnesium - 1290
I have a skimmer running on the tank, but have it turned down currently to just oxygenate the water for pH instead of skimming a bunch. Figured I'd raise the nitrates a little to find some balance. Corals seem to like it better when the tank isn't bottomed out in nutrients.
I dipped it in Coral RX before it went into a 2 week quarantine. Was fine in the QT tank for the most part. The bailout head was closed up for a few days.
The only thing I haven't done is feed it since I know frogspawn and hammers usually just spit everything out.
Anyone have any advice?
EDIT: Worth noting the bailout really started happening after my water change on Sunday. That's when it became apparent.
My water is 0TDS also. Test it with an inline probe and a handheld probe.
