How to tell btwn Aussey and Indo Gold Hammer Wall Coral?

[SS_Sean]

Just as title says, how do you tell the difference between the Aussey and Indo Gold Hammer Wall Coral? The price diff between the two is really steep. Just using a well known reef distributor, the Aussie large is $500 and the Indo large is $180. Thanks!

I believe its fatter polyps on the Aussie. Word of advice, do not buy site unseen. Also if when you buy, look for receding flesh on the side of the wall and make sure there are absolutely no cuts. It should be a solid piece. I also will not purchase until its sat for more than 6 weeks which seems to be the mark for them to make it or not. GL

I thought the indo Gold walls / hammer are hardier/much easier than their Aussie Counterparts?

Am I right or wrong?

Basically what's the easiest Gold hammer ( not torch) to keep? How to id that?
thanks....

Has to do with collection, shipping, cutting, etc that leads to infections. As stated, I would observe for at least 6 weeks before purchase IMO.
