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?
