Is my hammer even a hammer?!

[Yamaha1634]

Bought this hammer coral from my LFS around 5 weeks ago but I'm not 100% it's even a hammer. The polyps look round at the tips rather than hammer shaped and it also appears to be growing multiple tips on each polyp.

Also the polyps are a little bleached at the base, especially the polyps in the centre. Not sure of this is an issue or not.

Thoughts?

I agree, hammer corals look different

Or a frammer?

Maybe frammer. Mine look like that when young. My profile pic is a frammer.

So does it look healthy enough to you? The polyps aren't anywhere near as dense as your profile pic but I'm guessing it's just young and will fill out over time?
