I saw a thread about this before but I can't remember where it was from. I think they said that it was a normal thing that they sometimes do. Just keep an eye on it. Maybe someone who knows for sure will chime in.

My frog spawn does that occasionally I think it's a way of reproducing

My experience is the same as Kelli. On the Frogspawn I think it's reproducing (adding another head). It looks exactly like what your Hammer is doing.

My "hammer" did the same thing. I bought one with two heads; but both split so now I have 4 heads and from the looks of things one of the bigger ones is about to split again.

My torch coral did it as well. I started out with 4 heads but now there's 6 or 7 I can count for sure. One of the heads actually...died?! Kind of strange; I'm still in the dark about that one.
