What is wrong with my hammer coral?

[ff.rice]

I've had this guy in my tank for about 2 months now..... When I bought it it was a hammer for sure, and within about a week it started looking like this....... It's growing, and has great color..... Just doesn't look like a hammer...... Has anybody ever seen hammers do this? All of my params are in normal range too.....

It isn't a hammer coral...same family, but it is a frogspawn.

I wondered that, but the bubbles seem to be bigger than other frogspawn that I've seen. And also when I purchased it and put it in my tank it looked just like hammer coral....... I'll have to look into that for sure! Thanx!

do you have a before picture?

If the branches look like a hammer, it's a hammer coral.
If the branches are thick, it's a frogspawn.
If the branches are thin, it's a torch.

Pretty overly simplified way of ID'ing these guys, but it's a start.
