This hammer just arrived at the store, it's been in the tank for about an hour now and I just noticed that it's not just green but also purple. Is it possibly just damage from shipping? What's up with this hammer?

There is nothing wrong with the hammer coral. I also have one with the exact colors.

I've never seen one in person before, it's really cool! They are more uncommon than green hammers aren't they?
