Don't know if it's an emergency or not but definitely gave me a scare this morning. Iv had him for about 4 days now. Idk if this is normal and if he'll right himself but my biggest concern is the hammer righ underneath him

it's completely normal, don't worry.

When the polyps retract & the tissue kinda reflects light (you'll know what I mean when you see it) it's just shedding.

Aslong as it has good flow it'll do fine & the bending is normal too - it just changes shape / rotation based on the flow.

Edit:
Found this image of a shedding toadstool on google:

Edit 2:

Another picture of my own leather coral shedding (image is from a few years ago - has grown massively since & fragged multiple times)
