Was sold to me as a hammer coral. But not 100% sure kinda looks like frogspawn to me also. I’m new so just wanted to see what people thought.

Looks like a hammer. If the coral is a new addition to your tank, it will probably be a few days before it stats to fully extend.

But you can call it an Octospawn :D

My lfs had a bunch of frags that looked like that, at first i thought they were hammers, but turns out they were frogspawns. honestly i think the way to be sure is too look at their skeleton under a microscope. But it seeks some of the tentacles have multiple branches. But hammers can get that too

ahh okay. I don't really mind what type it is. Just wanted to know for myself. Love the way it looks.
