Just brought this little guy home from my LFS and was wondering if anyone could tell me if this is a wall or branching hammer? I seen 2 mouths, just not sure if one is just now forming? Thank you in advance! [emoji2] [emoji2]

Agree on branching. Good luck, one of my favorites.

Good! I was hoping it was branching but was a little disappointed when I had someone say it was a wall

I would start out on the bottom to get it acclimated to your lighting. If you want it higher than you could slowly move it up.

That is one of my favorite LPS.

Agreed. Start low, in your sand bed or just above. And then move up with time. I have a green branching hammer that I was able to put pretty high in the tank (near the top of the rockwork) after about 6 months of slowing moving it up. It grew like crazy and went from 2 heads to about 10 in a little over a year. I now have a frag on the bottom in a nano tank and it is also doing well. I think these are pretty versatile corals, so long as they are acclimated properly.
Good luck and congrats - that is a beautiful specimen!

So I figured I'd post an update on this hammer coral. I'm pretty confident that it is a branching hammer now. The single head w/2 mouths has now split to 2 small heads.

Yup - looks branching to me too.
It sure does look happy!
