I just got a hammer that has purple tips, it looks very similar to frogspawn and that is what I thought it originaly was. Do they require anything extra, supplement or food wise. I normally feed mysis, also they are under 4 54 watt T-5's.

This is the actual piece I bought from phishy business. The worker told me hammer, even thought this website description states that it is frogspawn. Which is it?
 
Looks like a hammer to me( possibly hybrid), care is same as frogspawn and most other euphylia species. Moderate light, flow and you can feed it mysis for extra growth but it does not need it.
 
No doubt about it - it is a frogspawn. They will appreciate medium Light and medium flow. They are filter feeders and take whatever is in the water column so they do not need to be target fed.

Looks to be hybrid to me.

Look at the tentacles of my hammer

Now look at the tentacles of my frogspawn

See the difference between the two? I think that it is a hybrid beause the tentacles look to horizontally wide to be a true frogspawn based off the pictures.
