Just wanted to see if anyone else got their yellow hammer and could verify if what they got was indeed yellow, or just another green one.
I talked with Dan at TCK about it, and he forwarded the pics and info to ARC since it was their coral and picture, but they are still claiming it is yellow. Thoughts
What I purchased:
The small one is the frag I received, next to my baby-yellow colony (green splatter hammer and GSP in background for color reference):
I was hoping to find a darker, deeper yellow than my colony. Instead I received a Plain Jane green hammer. Looking at the pic again it looks a bit on the green side, but was going off the description of being yellow and seeing it all by itself on the screen it looked pretty yellow. The rest of the corals were as-described, but this one was pretty disappointing.
Yeah, once I got them on the same screen and wasn't switching between photos on my phone, they do look similar. I think the ARC photo has hints of yellow in it, which to me is misleading. IMO, this has zero yellow pigmentation in it, and should not be labeled as such...especially when truly yellow hammers exist. I certainly would not have spent the $ I did on this frag if I knew it was just a plain green hammer as those can be had everywhere for $10-15 per head at most.

Sorry your not fully satisfied with the hammer. It was actually the head on the underside of the colony and was shaded. After cutting up the colony we labeled that one Darker and put a lower price tag of it. Give it some time and it will get brighter. Here is a photo of the holding tray holding its siblings all cut from the same colony. The others have a little more of that yellow coloration. Look at the green torches on the back part of the tray for a yellow to green comparison. You'll find your piece in the middle. It's darker but will color up now that it's brothers and sisters are not shading him.
