Hammer growing new heads?

Is my hammer growing new heads or is it something else? Sorry for the crappy photo :grinning-face-with-sweat:

Not that I can tell. Stable paramaters and a elevated ph level can help :)

Hard to see from the picture. I don’t see any obvious new heads. Can you highlight where you think the new head might be growing?

I’ll try to get a better picture after work but whatever it is, is growing at a hard angle to get a good pic :grinning-face-with-sweat:

Bump!

Hard to know but that’s not where a new head would grow. Typically heads pinch in and then split from the top if that makes sense.

Could be angle is hard to see could also be vermit growing

I was also thinking it might be a ver but the tip is fleshy and looks like little mini hammer bulbs, the top of the hammer is also currently in the middle of splitting right now

Initial thoughts was a vermetid based on the appearance of a spiral, however it’s impossible to tell without a clearer photo. Hammers can sprout new heads (that’s how mine grows) however in my experience it’s typically within the flesh band and I’m not seeing flesh band in that pic. The flesh band can recede after the fact, but isn’t that common (at least not with mine).
