Wall or branch hammers?
Bought these three hammers today but dont know whether they are wall or branch hammers? I have done some reading on the difference but my inexperience in corals made me cant tell the difference yet. Could anyone please help?
Hammer 1  Hammer 2  Hammer 3 (sorry for the uncleared photo)

First two look like wall hammers to me. Think the 3rd maybe branching hard to see

On a wall hammer the skeleton is one piece and they grow slower than a branch hammer which has individual heads.
If it is on a stalk it's a branching hammer. |

Branching hammer is literally branching. Each head on its own branch. Your first 2 looks like wall hammer. So mucher harder to care for

I'm not sure, I only keep claw hammers.
