Is this Frogspawn or Hammer ?

[jcmjoe]

Is this a Frogspawn or Hammer coral, I was told it was a Hammer when I got it 2 years ago and it has grown like crazy ! I love the coral I was just curious which it is? Thanks!!

Two years ago, did it have elongated acrospheres?

it looks like a hammer from this picture.

Shouldn’t matter one or the other though since they have the same care requirement, and can be next to each other

I’m not sure what you mean?

Looks like a frammer

Were its tentacle tips I-shaped or were they round like this?

They were shaped like this , just a lot less heads

I love the coral, but I’ve seen corals that look exactly like this before that were Hammers, I’ve seen ones where the end of the tentacle are more I or hammer shaped called hammers, and I’ve seen posts where a coral that looks just like this is a frogspawn! Haha thanks for any info!

Weird frogspawn/frammer prolly

Looks hammer-esque to me.... do the tentacles get longer?

Looks like a classic indo hammer, the ones from indo tend to have more round tips with an extra 1-2 tips here and there. Some refer to those as frammers

This one is more more of a frammer frogspawn look

Yes, some will get like twice as long as the others

Here’s a picture of another one of the colony’s from the original couple heads I got. Thanks guys for all the input!

That does not look like a hammer to me. It looks exactly like my frogspawn. Most of the polyp heads are round, but there are also many heads that have a sort of double (or triple) tip that give them an oblong shape that looks sort of like a hammer.
