The Metallic Wall Green Frogspawn. I've looked for over two years for one and finally fond it last month.

Hammer1-2-11.jpg


This was with my aquarium when I purchased it last Christmas (I got it from someone who was moving). At the time, it looked like this:

It's amazing what better light and less flow will do for you. Although the local LFS was doing the maintenance on the aquarium, I thnk that the husbandry might have something to do with it too :)

I don't have as many of these species as I used to, though I do still keep small colonies of some. I used to have a volleyball sized colony of a beautiful Frogspawn. Currently, our tanks are more SPS dominated, thus the reason for smaller colonies being kept. When we had our 75, at times, it was probably half Euphyllia corals! At present, in our 200, we have a couple varieties of Hammer Corals, recently got rid of 2 varieties of Torch Corals, and there might be a small colony of Frogspawn in there...lol. In Angie's Nano, we have 2 varieties of Frogspawn and 2 of Hammer. Here's some pics, of past and present Euphyllia.

Unfortunately, due to the curved glass, the nano is difficult to photograph.

As pretty as the gold hammers are, they don't seem to fluoresce as much as I thought they would..
