What color is more rare for a hammer?

[banzai75x]

Pink, orange, gold or blue? I've been searching for a ultra green hammer that is green throughout but have come across these other ones by name and was curious about them as well.

This is what I'm looking for:

I think the gold/orange is harder to get. Having said that I have seen 2 Lfs carry them this week.

Gold for sure!

I'd say the all green ones are rarest like your picture.

If you're in the OC, have you been to Ali's place, Amazing Aquariums? He's got a hammer just like that, but it ain't cheap.

Luke I like the progression of your tank.

imo deff the pink 60-70 bucks for a small frag

Green to me looks more common. I would prefer the gold to mix it up a little! I always like to have a variety.

The true orange/gold ones (not brown) seem to be the high(est) dollar ones I've seen,

true oranges

None of the hammers are rare right now. All colors are accesable through online vendors or good local fish stores.

I wouldn't trust a picture if the vendor is asking a high price. Some of the oranges, golds, yellows tips are just tan or light brown. There are no bright oranges...........don't be fooled.

It depends on your lighting, but I saw a batch of orange ones in person today and they were orange even under 60/40 blue/white T5s. They are tempting me even at the bancruptcy-inducing prices (that is, for European conditions) they command.

The key to your comment is "in person".............basically my point.

I'm going by what we have available here in the states and I never said there wern't orange hammers..............just that bright orange is not available regardless what some vendor wants to call it.
