I bought this from a guy on facebook. He said it was a "hammer coral". Anybody know what it really is? Frogspawn maybe? Thanks!

+1, Hammer Coral, not a frogspawn, those have multiple tips per tentacle.

Thanks guys! I guess it is a hammer. I was not sure because most of the pictures i saw of hammers looked different then this guy. Appriciate it!

It may be because it's not fully opened yet. My original thought was torch coral, another type of euphyllia, but if you look at some of the ends they make the hammer shape.
