Hi all, I just purchased a 7 headed bicolor hammer, in fhe attempt of moving it to a desired location, i think i might hurt it a little, there is 2 -3 hammer tip fell off, u know the green hammer shape thing in the end of the tentacles, will it be alright ? But all polyps are still extended by now as I type.
 
A picture would help, but since you aren't saying the tentacles from one of the heads I think you will be fine. Never seen one lose just the tip before.

When I would blast my rocks with a power head to dislodge any detritus this would happen to my Hammer coral on occasion too. I don't know why it happened, but it didn't seem to mind. All systems were go.

If a few tentacles fell off/ were torn off from the hammer, then there shouldnt be much to worry about. Ive accidentally sucked tentacles off while doing water changes. It should look normal tomorrow. Keep an eye on it incase any infection starts, then I'd recommend dipping in coral disinfectant.
 
Those look to me like it's in way too much flow area and too much light. All Euphyllia prefer lower light and lower flow. You are not getting full polyp extension, not even close.

I'd like to see your water parameters too please.
