Hammer coral

[retrohawk23]

Is my hammer coral growing new heads or do hammer corals grow stuff on it’s stems normally?

The pictures very blurry, but they do not usually split like that. Looks like that could be vermatid snails

Euphylia will split and grow buds. You’re good.

Head can split, new head on stem, or a bud might drop, all have happened in my tank.

What exactly happens when a bud drops?

You have another hammer growing.

I didn't see it until there was another tiny hammer 8 inches away, growing in the crevice of a rock.

Safe to say that these small "horn" shaped extensions are new heads forming? There are about 6 or 7 around this existing two headed hammer. Wasn't sure what they were.
