3 heads. When I got it (roughly 6 months ago) it could not reach anything. It could span a total of 3-4 inches, tops. I'm considering moving it to the left rear corner of my tank (72g) so it has room to expand. I love the shape and didn't want to lose the nice uniform shape by fragging it.
I looked at your build thread and it looks like you would be fine with a small single head frag.
The zoas that got stung are behind the tape measure in the first pic. (just a couple red/orange polyps) They have opened back up and look like they will be fine.

Just out of curiosity, what type of lighting and placement did you provide for the torch/hammer/frogspawn? I only ask because your growth is unreal unless of course your nano is jam packed with coral.
The OP doesn't have a tank filled with coral and it is not a given that the torch will have a sweeper tentacle. Problem is the majority of them do. I was fortunate to come across a short tentacle torch that has not shown a sweeper tentacle.
I have a 70W MH Pendant over my 7.5g cube. The wall hammer was placed on the sandbed. It's about 20" below the pendant. I bought a wall instead of the branching variety b/c I was told that walls grow slower. When I purchased it, it was about 2" in length. I don't have recent pics of it, but here it is after about a month:
After another month or so, it got big enough to stretch its tentacles and sting my purple/green micromussa to the left of it.
So I only had the hammer in my tank for a little over 2 months.
