Hey, so over the past week I have notice the head on my Hammer coral has been splitting. I can see two distinct mouths and it seems to be pulling apart. I am espcially happy about this since this used to be a double headed Hammer that was a nice size, but a rock fell over and one of the heads died. The other came close to dying but lived but was small. It has finally grown back up.
I just felt like sharing this as I found it interested and I am sure someone else will too.

(Excuse my GHA, I know, I am upset by it as well)

I have this very same scenario right now and I was worried due to it seemingly thinning, but I think it’s splitting! Could it be true?
