identification: Torch or Hammer

[Canneddynomite]

Sold as Gold tipped Torch, but I don't know.

 

[Tweaked]

That's a hammer

 

[Kentech5]

Yep definitely a hammer. You can tell from the tips.

 

[Webmanny]

Yep. Hammer for sure.

Hammer:

Torch:

 

[acrohead500ppm]

Yep. Hammer for sure.

Hammer:

All those are usually called anchor coral (E.ancora) the OP's looks to be an actual hammer coral E.parancora

 

[Tweaked]

Actual hammer? We gave the coral these names in the trade to help identify, and no one really calls a wall hammer an anchor coral. In fact some walls have more of a hammer head, as in Australian collected species. Yes, he clearly has a. parancora which is known as a branching hammer in the trade.

 

[Webmanny]

Well said Tweaked. Yep. One is branching, while the other is wall, but at the end of the day, I think we answered the question. HAMMER!!!

Maybe these links will help.
Wall Hammer

Branching Hammer

Have a good one.

Its reasons like these I started learning latin names, common names are too broad and vary too much from place to place.
Sorry for trying to be accurate.
just my .02

No, be accurate. As stated, it's euphyllia parancora.
