? on hammer corral

[kimba]

My LFS has a tiny frag that they are selling as a hammer coral. I don't think it is because the tips are round and not hammer looking. At first I thought it was a frogspawn, but now I'm wondering if it's a torch coral.

I want to get a frogspawn so was thinking of getting it, but what if it IS a torch coral.

I only have a 12 gal tank, is that big enough for a torch?

Can you post some pics for proper ID? And as long as water parameters are good I don't see why not.

Any euphyllia will do just fine in 12 gallon tank. I believe Torches have a more severe sting than Frogspawns and Hammers, so keeping that in mind you can get them all.

Size wise your good for a torch. Post a pic and we will help you know what you are getting for sure.

Maybe this link will help with an identification.

I can't get a pic, but in the link that cloak posted there is a pic of a big brown one in center and off to the right is a glowy green one (I think pic#8) it looks like that.

They are asking 35.00. It seems a little high, but I have seen it's equivelent for 10-15$ then shipping ig 30-50$

Torch or Frogspawn, you'll be ok with either.
