Does this hammer coral look like anything is wrong with it?

Hard to tell from that pic. But from the look of the tank it may not look too good for long. That tank has to have more nutrients in it than is best for that coral.

Like what do you mean?

Because I have 3 separate colonies of zoas, clove polyps, a trumpet coral, plate coral, chalice coral and a birds nest that are all doing fine and are growing and are open every day it's just my hammer has been doing not so well

There is a lot of GHA in that pic. With that much GHA I would think there would be a lot of nutrients in the tank. Good to hear your other corals are doing ok.

Wow, that's a lot of algae. What are your water parameters, and tank set up?
