Easy way to tell is the tentacles should not be translucent in appearance. You should be able to find a torch online to compare your color.

I tend to say these are slow growers as they have a huge calcium skeleton they have to build in order to grow new "heads" or split. I may be wrong but thats what I have seen with my euphylias. Also, if it is a single head then it is always going to take longer to start reproducing/splitting.
I do know one reefer who actually gives her hammers and torches away because they grow so fast they are like a weed in her tank, but she does have an immaculate 120 though!
Bro I know hammer corals do not grow that fast. I mean they grow obviously but not like seeds man I have seen Many and I have one in which I take great care of
 
So wold you all say that this coral is bleached also???
Yep thats bleached. Ive had my green torch for almost 5 years. Started with one tiny polyp and now has 16 polyps. Gives you a idea of how fast it grows in my tank.
