HUGE Hammer Coral

Just thought I would share.....

I stopped by my LFS today to discover they have (2) HUGE hammer corals in their DT.

The lighter one is about 3 1/2 feet x 3 1/2 feet square, the darker one is about 2 feet x 2 feet.

The "small" frag in front of them is actually two large heads of hammer.

They are one solid piece, creating a great under-cave which fish swim through.

Price tag : $600.00 for the big one. $400.00 for the smaller.

Re: HUGE Hammer Coral

Those are both freaking awesome! You could buy one frag the crap out of it and make money and still have a huge hammer!

Re: HUGE Hammer Coral

Holy crap, that's the biggest hammer I've ever seen. I can only imagine what's possible in the wild...

Re: HUGE Hammer Coral

they both look like wall hammers, in which case, fragging them becomes monumentally difficult. I can't wait til mine looks like that, in about 3 years!
