I have a ton of hammers both branching and plating and they like a medium to slower current not high current it causes the tissue to tear and agitates them. I'd try slowing the current around it. Hope this helps they are a great coral just hard finding healthy ones and if you notice tissue starting to recess a dip in lugols and seawater helps stop the tissue loss caused by protozoan. Some times it takes multiple drippings and stronger then recommended. good luck
