Hi everybody. I bought this frag as "frogspawn" in Aquashella Chicago. Is just that it is starting to look to me like kinda of like a hammer. So it makes me hesitate. So I figured I would get some opinions. hope the pics are good for idenrifying. Thanks in advanced.

I agree. Looks like a hammer to me. A really nice, healthy one though.

No doubt Hammer. Frogspawn represents more dot-like appearance

Branching Hammer is the common name for Euphyllia Paraancora.

Yours looks like E. Paradivisa usually called branching frogspawn. I have one that looks like yours, sometimes the tips get elongated but there are also a few multi tip tentacles to be found. There are definitely other varieties that get a larger amount of multi tip tentacles.
