Hammer Coral Showcase

[Dendrobates]

Inspired by the unique torch coral thread, let's see the amazing variety of hammer corals in the hobby. Please specify wall (Euphyllia ancora) or branching (E. parancora) for reference.

I'll start it off with an easy one to top, Aussie green and purple splatter branching hammer. It's 2 heads right now and has some new heads forming at the base.

I'll contribute! Here's my purple and green E. paraancora, common coloration but is a great looking coral

And here's my Aussie bi-color yellow and purple E. paraancora, light is a little bright in the photo since I was focusing on the chalice in this pic and its the only one I have on the ipad, I'll get a new one soon

Who is this? I had to get another as I lost the one I purchased last year.

Nice looking hammers! Especially like the holds and oranges.

Does anyone have the ORA micronesian E. parancora? There's one at a lfs that I've been curious about and want to see it under better lighting.

Picked up a teal/seafoam colored E. parancora a few weeks ago and have been acclimating it to my LEDS on the sand bed for now.
