Hammer or torch?

[moneyman]

Hello this might be a stupid question but is this a hammer coral or a torch coral? I just want to know Becuase of the care requirements. I know some hammers don't have a hammer shape so that's why I'm asking. Thanks.

The care requirements are the same...

 

[moneyman]

I guess but I still want to know

Can you take a picture under whites?

Also, is this branching?

Ah, that's a hammer or frammer

The colors seem to indicate that it's a frogspawn

Or a hammer/frammer with the same color pattern... I have several hammers with green stems and purple tips

So no torch?

No

Dang. I was hoping I got a 30 dollar torch.

Hey, if it identifies as a torch, who am I to tell it it's not, lol!
As long as you like it, it's all good.

No, the skeleton branches, not the soft tissue.
And it looks like a common green/purple hammer.

Have you seen this coral first hand?? In the photos, it appears that there are possibly some branching tips (which would indicate a frammer). I asked my question prior to the pic under whites, where the color pattern was obvious, in order to help the OP rule out a frog or frammer.

(And there are wall hammers too...)

Relax, the photos are not clear at all and I said it "looks" like a hammer. Could be a frammer but whatever, same basic thing.
Wall hammers also grow a larger skeleton, and this does not appear to be a wall hammer based on the skeleton showing in the pic.
When OP asked if it was branching, I take that to mean getting another head or whatever, which is not happening in the photo.

When OP asked if it was branching

I'm the one who asked about branching and I was referring to the part of the photo I had circled in RED. Try to keep up, lol

Yo guys chill

Are you always as aggressive as reaching torch tentacle?

Why do you assume that when a woman corrects you, she's being aggressive? Lol
