Hammer's stomach inflated outward!

I decided to try AragaMilk and man oh man did I **** off some animals.

Some like my xenia and mushrooms thought it was the coolest stuff. My green mushrooms are HUGE now! Unbelievable.

My anemone is very angry. He has not opened up since I added it.

My Hammer did a very odd thing. It blew a bubble a little smaller than a golf ball on one of it's four heads. It has maintained this bubble for three days now. It is very odd an interesting. I suspect it is it's stomach getting ready to explode. Most likely caused by something it digested from the Aragamilk addition.

I am laying off the stuff. I cant imagine whats in it to cause these reactions.

What could possibly cause a Hammer to blow up it's guts?

Is this head a goner?

Have you ever heard of this?

It may be about to split. My frogspawn does this when it's splitting.

agreed that this may be a division vesicle, but anytime you add calcium carbonate to a reef tank under normal circumstances, it is insoluble and corals treat it as a fine sediment. Polyp extension or retraction is a normal way to rid the surface of irritating particulates.
