ok I was doing reading and looking up other hammers and I’ve started to concern myself a little bit. My hammer inflates fully, has tripled in tissue size since I bought it, and generally seems healthy to me. What’s stressing me out is that unlike a lot of other hammers m/euphyllia I’ve seen, the flesh doesn’t continue onto the outer skeleton. It seems to only be attached on top. Also a good time to ask, does anyone know how to tell if it’s branching or wall off of a picture? I haven’t noticed any new skeleton growth since I bought it but the tissue has definitely grown a lot. Here’s a picture of him inflated and tried my best to get some of the skeleton.

You shouldn't stress if it has tripled in size, not all corals are created equal.

When it branches, it would usually split in the center of the mouth into two.

Hammers usually takes longer to split than other euphyllias like torch and frogspawns.

Hope that helps.

I’ve had branching varieties in the past and they seemed to have better skeletal growth, I’m thinking this one may be a wall type as it’s gotten pretty wide. Thanks for the assurance!
 
Looks good to me. Really need to see the base to tell wall or not. Branch hammers will grow baby offshoot like tree branches under the full size head from the branch
 
Looks like a wall to me. That’s a nice one, dang.

I've been so busy that I got my thoughts on the hammer confused with my torch. Sorry, my mistake, it's the torch that splits, and the hammer branch like Mastiffsrule said. Goodluck.
