Whew I don't blame you! Hammers are the best!
 
I got this beautiful hammer a couple of days ago. A little unhappy, still acclimating.

Contrary to popular belief, this hammer doesn't mind swinging parameters.
 
In drip now!!
Going to be dipped in a few minutes :)

Thank you! I have another that’s similar, but thinner polyps. Colors are completely different depending on the flow

A large eye like this generally suggests Columna IME. Also if the tentacles appear all neat they tend to be Columna - This is mine.

The others look like they could be a Tenuidens but only if they don’t encrust, if they encrust it’s likely to be a Bernard.

The rainbow one does encrust.

Your columna is very nice! I love the color. I have one also but it’s more of a dull green with bright tips. I couldn’t pass on it for 40$ though

So I got a freebie SBB green berry goni. Anybody know anything about it?

Cool thing with SBB - on their website if you go to gallery, it’s a searchable archive of any coral they have sold in the past. If you type in green berry and search you can find other green berry Goni that other people purchased to see what it looks like

Didn't know that. Cool! That's the exact one I have because the 13th is when I placed an order

It’s a really cool feature!

I bought some small frags from them, type in the name, and can see what they look like when they are larger and get an idea what to expect
