Hammer frog spawn hybrid?

Royce benton · Nov 15, 2015

Hey I purchased this at my lfs the other day was listed as a hammer spawn seems legit? Maybe?

What are your thoughts?

Definitely cool. Personally never seen structure like that on a hammer. Could possible be though.

Looks cool, but not much color.

Yeah it's a little tucked in ATM just got a new protein skimmer so the bubbles are stressing it a bit but it has more color when its out. Just the bulbs on it with the hammer heads has me thinking it might be a hybrid.

I have the same euphyllia. Pucture does not tell that this is not a normal hammer. The tentacle tips are hammer followed behind it by 3-4 frogspawn tips in a direct line on each side of the hammer tip. Each tentacle had this look. Exactly the same look with every tentacle. Unlike the normal para-hammer that may contain a few oddly deformed tentacles. That even the deformed ones will different to each other. I think it is a new variety of euphyllia. Not sure if it is a true natural hybrid. If that is even possible in corals.
