Yellow Hammers are kind rare in this hobby and will not see them in the trade very often.
I know there are some reefers here that has some.
Now you can show of and post a pic of it.
I got one from ASD, still small and finally showing some yellow color.
Will post a pic Friday.
 
Define yellow. I don't think I have ever seen a true yellow one maybe lime green or a shade lighter, but what so many call yellow isn't even close. Looking forward to some good photos that hopefully prove me wrong.
 
I had a true yellow one that I lost in a tank mishap last year.... They are rare for sure, but they are around. Hopefully someone has some good pics.
 
I would love to see a true yellow one. Granted it may a difficult to capture the color with pix. Often i have seen yellow or orange advertised at LCS and they have an orange look under blue light but under normal lighting they are brown. The yellow ones are as mentioned more of a light green or a tan. It would be nice if a true yellow exists.
 
When you say true yellow, under what lighting are we talking? I have one I would say is legit yellow and one that falls into the shades of green area. The rest are varying greens despite a couple being purchased as yellow. I have tried to photograph accurately and haven't been able to do it thus far. This vid is actually the best I have come up with for showing the differences in color and this is still quite poor for showing color. The front left being the one that is a yellow splatter. The other front one in the sort of yellow category.

Please post what lighting you currently have with these pictures also.
 
i also recently bought a "yellow" one. honestly, it looks borderline green to me. my problem is that it is the only green euphyllia currently in the tank, so it's hard to compare it against a known green.

i've since picked up a true green one to place next to it, but it is waiting to ship due to the weather. once they are together i should be able to post a worthy photo.

That is a nice coral. I was told an orange branching hammer is rare. The orange walls are more easy to come by. I wonder if the branching yellow is as rare as the branching orange. I like polyps on yours as well. They look more like the walls not the stubby most branching hammers have.
 
here is mine, solo. pretty accurate as to what i see in person. borderline yellow imo, but i'll bet once a green one is next to it, the yellow will pop.

I got a super bright yellow hammer from Rocky Mountain Frags about a month ago. He had another one at that time, not sure if it's still available or not.

They are more of a lime green. They will look more yellow under t5 than led. True yellows are über rare.

This.

Mine is under LEDs. I moved it next to my gold torch and snapped a top-down.
