I have a new Euphyllia in my Pico. It was origionaly 4 heads on the plug. It only had the 2 living heads on it when it was purchased. $20 frag, not from my normal LFS. I think it might be a gold Aussie torch, but when it first caught my eye I thought hammer. It's VERY different from my other torch I have in the 20g. The heads are growing in a straight line. These tentacles are short fat bushy. The color is gold tipped, moving down into blue pink horizontal stripe. It was also instantly attacked under my day lights by a pepermint shrimp, so it quickly moved into the Pico. It's now the rooftop for my tiger shrimps back door.

This is tough. It looks kind of like my orange hammer

Yup, that's why I'm confused too. Hammer shaped tentacles are true indicator of a hammer coral. Is this a hammer/frogspawn hybrid?
