I figured i needed a somewhat catchy title that did not immediately imply an acro pack to lure any lps heads into one of my threads. You can be more than certain that i was not going to throw up some variant of the ubiquitous "hammer time" but I had to try my best to rope some of you in for this one.

Most of the time in rare visits to my supplier i don't even go near the lps. I don't have room for them and they just don't enthrall me like acros do. I am just not really drawn to them. I have sort of pigeonholed myself as an sps guy fine. So be it. Well the last time i was down there I couldn't help but notice the glowing dare I say (clears throat and softly says) yellow hammers. Now I get it. To say yellow is almost taboo at this point but these things just pulled me in from across the room! And i wont even go on calling them "yellows" but what they are, are just insanely vibrant branching hammers that i could not resist!

These pics are true to life. No enhancement whatsoever. I shot them in RAW under radium 250s and all i did was pull the blue out in lightroom. If you'd like details about my camera and setup just ask. Ill be happy to share:)

So here they are


55.00 each

Three heads 155.00

While i was shooting LPS I went and got a good one of this frosted mummy eye. Grown from a smaller piece and in my system over a year now. like I said earlier I am not much an lps guy but I like this one especially the white striped rim. The orange eyes glow!

150.00

Nice hammers Adam! I have a wall hammer that is about the color of the ones in the first photo. It is very cool but I am also not much of an LPS guy either but I have to say lately acans are pretty attractive to me for some reason.
 
Wow... I figured the twin color would have sold instantly. I'd love to have it, but no room in the tank :-(
 
Adam, thanks again for the crazy hammer...... The green is glowing like crazy!!! Always looks better than ur pics! I put it next to the last two hammers I got from u and believe it or not made them look pale lol

Anyways your always going above and beyond buddy!! Thanks again
 
The hammer in the second to last pic is hard to decipher the color like you said.. Orange is pretty close though. I have a wall hammer similar to it and man that color is awesome! I am sure someone will buy it up!
 
I'm with you on that. No one wants LPS from Reef Pets.

so its not just me then... lol . whats wrong with us? not enough hype??????? or maybe we just care so little for lps that it projects out to potential customers like some sort of repellant :tea::second:

I'm going to have to start ordering some corals from you once my new tank is built! I'm originally from WI, so I'll support some 'local businesses'! :)
 
I'll help hype them up for you...

No it's not just you. You have to hype and saturate to sell LPS.. Im not saying that all vendors do it but it certainly is a trend. Im just not willing to take that leap and by the looks of your photos neither are you.
