Baby hammer or mojano

[SaltwaterTeen]

I noticed theres a thing thats growing. Ive done some close looking and it looks like a baby hammer, but there was a mojano there a few weeks ago when I got the hammer, but Im thinking I got rid of it, and I highly doubt its a mojano, since they multiply fairly quickly in a few weeks. Heres how I THINK its a hammer, instead of the more pointy tentacles that a mojano has (Its like the same size as the mojano I took out of it before) it has small blunt polyps. Also, I see alittle bit of green on the polyps, and the bases are diferent, the mojano that was there before made more of an in curve, and this base comes straight down to the main branch. What is it?

Baby Euphyllias will have a small skeleton at the base. Here is my baby torch coral, about 1 cm wide amongst zoo colonies.

The torch came in as a hitchhiker, and I still have it today.

However, post a photo

it was a mojano, it was 1 of the 2 I got rid of when chris sold me the hammer. I tried to get it, but it just fizzed up and I had to use a needle to scrape off the foot. When I put hammer back into tank, it lost one of its polyps Next time Ill try to take care of it when Its in the tank. Will the hammer regrow the polyps?

Sorry To Dissapoint You But Usually When Lps Polyps Are Lost They Usually Dont Grow Back

i'm by no means an expert, but from what i have experienced, the "baby hammers" usually grow out of the base of the fleshy part of the hammer (in my tank anyway) right above where the flesh melds into the skeleton. when they are very small, they actually look more like star polyps than a mojano.
for what it's worth
