when branching euphyllia grow new heads, does the existing head split down the middle into 2 heads or does it grow new heads from the skeleton

I see the same thing with my hammers.I believe it splits. a couple of mine are developing a second mouth, are elongating and no longer circular. I think it then pinches in at the middle as it grows and forms 2 separate heads
I haven't seen torches do it, but some hammer and frogspawn grow small new heads off the sides of the stalk. For the most part, these little guys get shaded out by the larger heads and don't make it to be new full size heads. My take on it is that if something happens to the larger heads and they die then there are smaller ones waiting to grow and take over like an insurance policy for the corals survival.
