About Hammer Branch Purple Tip Coral
This branching hammer coral has green or tan tentacles finished with purple, hammer-shaped tips. Each polyp sits on its own stalk, so the colony grows by splitting heads and is simple to frag. The contrast between tip and tentacle is strongest under a blue-heavy spectrum.
