Wall Hammer Question

[Rich130981]

Will a wall hammer split into two separate hammers. Reason I ask is I have an aussie wall that looks like two separate heads from underneath. My angle isn't the best to see if there is two or not.

Hard to see but the wall started to curve and it looks like to separate walls formed or are forming

That's a good question, I was under the impression that they do not generally block off an area, instead just having multiple mouths and a long stretch of uninterrupted live tissue. I could well be wrong though! I have only done minimal reading on wall hammer corals... Time to find out though, I'll keep reading, lol

Erik, I thought the same thing. I think I might anger him a little to see if there is seperation

My hammers have always done this.
