I have this amazing hammer coral with 19 heads no including the small ones. The base of the heads look just like the skeleton or bone of it? I don’t know what it’s called but can someone please help me. It opens every day and seems fine. Coloration and size is fine.

LOOK NEAR THE BASE ON THE PHOTO. That’s what I am taking about

This is very common with larger colonies, in nature the flesh is often only the very ends of the skeleton. An inch or two is a normal healthy amount of extra skin.
 
Not sure what we are looking at. I see bubble algae. Hammer looks healthy. Good tissue and splitting.
