Frogspawn Coral, Thick Branched

[hqaquarium]

Does anyone know where I can find more info about this LPS? I bought this piece from a local fragger whom advertised it as a Teal Hammer but when I saw it I knew it wasn't a Hammer. I bought it anyways and threw it in the tank. It doesn't open up as much as my other Frogspawn and it's defiantly not the same color. I stumbled on this page here:
http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=597+321+3231&pcatid=3231

and it's the closest thing that I can find to it. Their page says it's rarely seen so I guess I lucked out.

Looks like teal hammer to me. I say hammer because the tentacles do not branch like frogspawn. Some hammers just don't have very defined hammers. Excellent and rare coloring.

I agree with Akita looks more hammerish to me than frogspawn.

Yup hammer. The heads will fill out and get longer when it gets fully acclimated and in a happy spot.

humm. it's been in my tank for a week and its in a low-medium flow area.

It can take a month or more to get good extension. It could also just have shorter tentacles but it really looks like that piece can extend more

thanks. i've tried moving it to a spot for a couple of days before that has less current and still doesn't seem to want to open up anymore. hopefully you're right and it will open up a bit more in a few weeks.

This is my thich branch frogspawn from Fiji. Yaeyamensis. One of the nicest I've seen.

Don't be surprised if this is really a frogspawn and not a hammer. I bought a frag (different coloring) which I thought was a hammer...branches looked just like your pictures.

When it started to grow out the characteristic branching of frogspawn started to emerge.
