I received this LPS for free from a fellow reefer. It was covered by another coral in his tank. It was given to me as a hammer. I really don’t know what it is and it doesn’t look like any the hammers I’ve been looking at online and in the forums. It’s been in my tank for a little over a month and has sprouted two tiny new heads. I feel like there’s something wrong with it because some tentacles are more extended then others, some are darker in color and some are almost white. The tentacle sizes and lengths are also completely different.

T5 lights
Temp-79 deg
Salinity 1.025
NH3 and Nitrite-0
Nitrate between 10 and 20 ppm
Ph -8

TIA

It might be a frammer and some have different color variations for tentacles.
 
Thanks. I have moved it around a couple of times. Should I be feeding it or just let it be for a bit?
