I have a single head hammer coral that seems to be growing larger rather than branching into another head. The single head is 3.5" across when opened. Is this normal and what's the max head size before they start branching to multiple heads?

Also, I've had this for a couple months and have never seen sweeper tentacles. Maybe the whole bush is the sweeper?

With my hammers I have one that starting to grow a head on the side, I have some that got a bubble in the center and turned to Three heads.
