Hammer

Hi everyone I got a new hammer frag about a week ago. It seems to be perfectly healthy but no coloration. Is this just the color of this hammer?

Corals often take a while to show their true colors in a tank. For example, it may have been green in the LFS, but in a few months it may turn purple. Lighting and nutrients play an important role in coloration.

Welcome to RC and agreed. It doesn’t look bad to me but colors will change (could be slightly to dramatically) as it gets used to your tank and lighting. I had a bleached out green hammer that now has neon green stems with purple tips

Still no color

Usually take a couple weeks or longer under new lighting to start to colour up. Were you told it was a particular colour?

No i was not told a color. He has been in the tank for about 2 week now. Fingers crossed he will color up soon

Mine took about 2 months to get the color they have now
