ID Please : does anyone know the name of this hammer coral

[minawibraheem]

not sure if it is Teal hammer or Blue , it was labeled as ultra Gold but i am not sure if it is

 

[art13]

I would call that gold

 

[minawibraheem]

it was labeled as ultra gold , but i have my doubts because i saw the ultra gold at ACC on black Friday and it was close to this one just more vibrant ,
the color of mine is blueish grey if that helps , i will try to get more clear picture , this one was last night after the blues went on , i just had a flashlight on it

The colors will different from tank to tank. It all depends on lighting and other elements in your tank. Prime example is while at @HerbieK house for the December meeting I noticed one of his SPS had two different coloration. I over heard two other members point it out and point our how that SPS is under two different lights and you could see the different from one light to the other.

It depends a lot on the lighting as well. My example would be i bought a gold torch, when i got home it was mostly brown, but after a while is starting to get it's gold back.

I had a frogspawn but lost it. I now have a hammer and a torch. The hammer been in my tank longer than the torch; I got my torch from @art13 not too long ago. The hammer is growing but slowly. The touch seems to be doing ok but I been focusing on other issues and not really watching it grow yet.

I am running 1 Kessil 360we and 2 Kessil A150w Deep Ocean Blues. My hammer is about midway down in my tank (54g corner tank) and my touch is near the top. My 360 ramp from 0% up to 80% and then back down but I will get you the numbers tonight when I get home

Squirt some reef chili or reef roids into them from time to time. For the most part, they pretty much take off on their own

Definitely depends on lighting the gold hammer i bought from world wide corals at last years reefapalooza (2015)as a single head.i now have about 8-10 heads but i feed them offen
