Hammer growth

[Tanofthereef]

I have a branching hammer thats been through 2 tanks and recently took off on its polyps splitting into 4 polyps on one and 3 on the other. Thing is the skeleton hasn't grown at all or very minimal in 2 years.

Is this normal? When should I see skeleton growth?

this was taken at night when they shrunk up a little so it is easier to tell the heads apart.

I’ve had mine a month and it’s split into two heads and grown a new skeleton for the second head. Not sure if that’s normal but in two years I feel like you should have more skeleton. May be low on calcium in your tank. I have no way to check mine or id let you know what my calcium is.

I will say though that I have a candy cane that started as two heads eight months ago and is now 12-15 heads and it has grown no new branches so it may be up to the individual coral.

Looks like the new heads are fully split now and starting to grow softish - new skeleton! success!
