I agree with Doc. Odds are that it was damaged in the fall and the "flesh" simple disintegrated while you were gone. It's amazing how MUCH flesh there really is and once you see one bare you'll know that the flesh it what you see and the skeleton is WAY back in there.

IF you don't mind my asking.. why did you leave your lights off for a solid week? I don't know what other corals you have but Hammer is Photosynthetic (needs light to make food).

Good luck and Happy Reefing!!
