Blue hammer coral

So I found this on the divers den and can't find many people with them. Are they rare or just not that desireable. I think it's beautiful and hopefully looks like the picture. Never seen a blue one before.

it looks like the marble ones (purple/green) don't see any blue other than the blue light

Did you get it?
 
I have one that is similar to that. Keep in mind it will only appear blue under strong actinic lights (and no other light to wash the color out). Under normal/mixed lights, it will apear pink to light purple.
 
It comes in tomorrow. And it is labeled as a blue Aussie hammer coral. I would hope the color is actually blue. I've heard of them in other forums. Wouldn't imagine they would label it blue and it not be blue
 
It just arrived in and has been in the tank for about 2 hours. What I see so far is green but it isn't remotely close to opening. Just a tiny bit. Won't make any conclusions til she is open. I see some blue coming through alread. It may indeed be blue

Any updates? I just ordered one from another vendor which guarantee that looks blueish and is arriving today.

Sorry for the delay. It is not all blue. More of a greenish with a beautiful bluish purple tinge throughout. A gorgeous coral but not as pictured. I've been waiting on him to open up all the way. He doesn't open as much as my other hammer but he's healthy and happy. But he's green if I'd have to say so but the tinge makes him definitely a cool color. How's yours come in?

I have a blue hammer, picked it up at petco of all places.

True baby blue under even a flashlight. If they are this rare I should put it somewhere that will suite it better as it has never split in the year I have owned it.
