new frogspawn coral

[biodarwin]

This one looks a lot different than most of the frogspawn pictures i have seen on the interwebs. It is a fresh frag.

It's not a frogspawn. It's a hammer coral. Same family, same needs. Just different shaped heads.

It doesn't have the little hammer looking head that hammer coral has. I guess that makes sense why it doesn't look like what I thought it would.

It looks like it does to me -- the little U or C shaped tips are indicative of a hammer. Yours is slight, but definitely there.

Thanks for the help and the comments. I only paid $20 for it, so I am not so upset that it wasn't want I wanted / what they told me it was.

The biggest difference that I've noticed between the two is that hammers seem to come in more brilliant, vivid colors.

That is branching hammer coral. The block hammer corals usually have the more pronounced anchor or hammer shape.
