Who Gives A Fish Forums

Sold as Gold tipped Torch, no idea if that's correct though.

That's a hammer, not a torch.

I'm with felinxo on this, looks like a hammer to me. The tips are a dead giveaway.

Definitely a hammer, not a torch. Those tips are a giveaway.

Those aren't anchor coral (E.ancora), OP's got an actual hammer coral, E.parancora.

It's an actual hammer coral, folks. We coined these names to help with identification in the trade. I mean, nobody refers to a wall as an anchor coral, right? Some Aussie species even have more of a hammer head, if you can picture that. Clearly, he's got a parancora, which we commonly call a branching hammer.

Great point felinxo. I think we're on the same page here. One's branching, the other's wall, but at the end of the day, we've got our answer - it's a hammer.

Cheers.

I've found that relying on common names can be pretty hit or miss, given how much variation there is from one place to another. That's why I started looking into Latin names - they just give a clearer picture. No offense meant by trying to be precise.

No need to apologize, accuracy is key. It's indeed Euphyllia parancora, as I mentioned earlier.
