Hybrid Euphyllia?

[Moonfruit777]

Hello can anyone tell me what euphyllia this is?
It was sold as E. ancora - but it has "dots" and "hammers" :S

Could it be a hybrid like the one mentioned in this article?

Thanks in advance :)

Looks like an octospawn

Looks cooler than the one in the article!

Looks like an octohammer. Never seen one before. Pretty cool! I have seen in person 2 cross breeds specimens of 2 euphyllias. I can't remember which two euphyllias where the two that were combined(think it was a frogspawn and hammer), but it is probably possible that an octospawn and hammer turned hybrid.

OK i found out there is an actual term for this Euphyllia!
They are called "Frammer" coral :D

Did not know that was a thing - I have not seen an Euphyllia like that before.
Is it rare? Because I kind of want it even more now lol

Do you guys know more about it?
Do you even have a Frammer coral in your tank? Share some pictures! :)

Bottom right was sold to me as a frammer it has semi hammers and frogspawn runoff tips.

Thanks. Here’s the other side. I’ll try to get a better pic of the frammer when I get home.

I’m a big fan of euphyllias as well and that is a priced piece. Btw what lens filter do you use to capture such an awesome picture without all the blues.

Octospawn,octohammer,frammer! Can anyone post pics and explain the difference?

Actually all the blues were still on for the shot I just used Snapseed app and adjusted the white balance a tad.

octospawn has a lot more runoff knobs

Hammers have more elongated shape.

And a frammer has the elongated part as well as frogspawn runoff knobs.

Thank you all very much for commenting!

@Catchemall
So to be clear:
octospawn = E. yaeyamaensis ?

Really cool Euphyllia you don't see too often either :D
As of right now it's on my "look out for this coral" list ;)

Is there a scientific/latin name for the "frammer"?

Also good news:
The picture in the first post was from the onlineshop of the dealer - not my photo and also not a very good one.
Your boy bought that hammer shown in the first post ;)
I don't care if its rare or not - I already love it!
It will be arriving tomorrow, alongside some other cool stuff!! *coral shipment hype*

Octospawn=E. Paradivisa

I have one on my left side structure bottom of the pic.

I think the frammer is just basically another morph of a hammer not really scientifically named. Not sure really.

Here is a better pic of mine. In the one photo you can see the anvils and the frog type runoffs [emoji196]

I believe frammer is just a made up name but I could be wrong.

I’d agree it’s hobbyist named and not scientifically named. But it’s different variation of the three for sure.

Here’s my frammer coral:

Agreed. Very cool hybrid
