Are these new heads on my hammer!?

[tanked_life]

I have had this hammer for close to a month and have great calcium, mag, and all levels in my biocube 29. My question is are the little bumps on the lower part of the hammer new sprouting heads? Or are they something else such as my purple star polyps that grow fast?

A zoomed in picture is attached as well as the full view.

Any response will help! Thank you

it is hard to tell but it does look like tiny heads forming

If thats the case then there are about 8-10 heads growing is that normal?

Doesn't look like it to me. I'll post a pic of my hammer when I get home so you can compare, it has 3 new heads forming.

Ok that'd be great if you post a picture that way I know what to look for

Thanks cloak but I have already read this article and learned a lot from it especially the dripping method of reproduction that happened with my monti cap but I wasn't sure if this is what the budding looked like on a hammer or if it something else.

Hey guys I came across this article and I think this applies to my situation can anyone read and verify I think they may be baby heads.

Hammers do split forming new heads but they can also grow new heads I am almost positive that those are new heads if the other person falls threw on there pic of the hammer I will post a pic tomorrow of mine I have tons of baby heads over the stalks of my hammer. The only other thing I could think of is that it could be a mojano or some other type of aptasia

Yess see thats what mine is starting to look like because ot has the baby tentaclesvyou xan see them just barely, I do have mojano in my tank abd it spreads but when I turn on my actinics, it doesn't glow like the mojano does that's why I think they are baby heads

I cannot get that picture can you attach it?

 

[tanked_life]

never mind when i quoted it, it came up but yeah that bubble is interesting but my case is on the skeleton not so much the actual flesh

 

[dan_k]

I thought that the head it's self would split maybe down the center and so on like trumpet I could be wrong I'm an SPS guy

Thank you for the input Dan K and you are right but euphilia also grow new stalks and I was just wondering if that's the case here
