VacavilleFC3S · 09/30/2009, 08:37 PM

dan10342 · 09/30/2009, 08:38 PM

i was superglueing corals to my rockwork and i got a mass of excess glue in the hammer and it didnt make it

bhelne01 · 09/30/2009, 08:41 PM

positive. a local hobbyist i know has a head of this off the same colony i got mine off of. He has had the frag for about a year almost. its still quite alive and well and still white.

Johnny C · 09/30/2009, 09:00 PM

Yeah... Dan got it from me. Here's a really crappy actinic shot of it:

VacavilleFC3S · 09/30/2009, 11:30 PM

looks exactly like mine, i had thought it was bleached originally but i've had it for 2 months and it's still perfectly white.

McSassy · 10/01/2009, 03:41 AM

That's pretty crazy. Not even the tips are colored, say like...umm I forgot the name...I'm drunk right now. The white ones with the purple tips that a lot of clowns like...well clowns like a lot of anemones but these ones they are like crazy about I think...they are hard to take care of too. Clowns are funny.

I know this is an old thread but I have a white hammer as well

Amatuer21 · 07/31/2014, 10:56 AM

Thats so cool i want one!!!!

Onyx picasso · 07/31/2014, 05:48 PM

Too nice of a piece.

Fishy 1 · 08/01/2014, 06:13 AM

That is cool, I want one

_divad · 08/17/2014, 01:51 AM

Really cool! Quite a contrast there.

Bhuamani32 · 08/17/2014, 07:20 AM

That's crazy. Hope one like that pops up somewhere near me

boostd2valve · 08/17/2014, 07:37 AM

That's pretty awesome, at first I thought it was just bleached! I've had torch completely bleach white like this for a week or so and then regain color. Cool find!

leebauer · 11/16/2014, 02:45 PM

Scored 15 heads if this today...mostly white with just a tinge of green

nathan1986 · 11/18/2014, 11:36 AM

Okay now I need a white hammer! Just when I thought I had all the cool colors I see this. The search is on

Tweaked · 11/18/2014, 01:55 PM

I'm skeptical here. Anyone able to post a longer duration of captivity shot? Looks like it just simply spit out its zoox to me.

nathan1986 · 11/18/2014, 05:06 PM

+1 what tweaked said. Tried googling it and only found bleached hammer threads. Id like to hear from someone who has had one stay white like that for quite awhile, and it being healthy

oceanarium · 11/18/2014, 05:21 PM

I would suggest it is possibly mistaken identity of Euphyllia cristata, they can be quite transparent and grow in a very similar structure.

Miguelh1302 · 12/02/2014, 03:28 PM

It is been doing great lately, have to post an update picture

birdmandan · 12/03/2014, 12:56 AM

I've seen one at a LFS but they said they had just found it under the frag rack, hence the bleach. It looks just like the one in your picture.

rogersb · 12/03/2014, 07:56 AM

These appear to be more clear than white. I could only see the pics on my phone so not the best or biggest.

mayjong · 12/03/2014, 04:43 PM

show me one that grows a new heads that are that color, then i'll believe it's white.
AND i'll want to buy a head!

maroonman · 12/16/2014, 03:22 PM

i've got a small mother colony .. started with 2 heads. now I'm up to 5 .
When I first got the Hammer ( branching ) It looked bleached to me . So I picked it up cheap from a LFS. Its been almost 1 yr now. I have had this piece Down Low , Mid Tank & up High . It never changes color months at a time . You can see a very slight hint of lavender tips.
It seem to be a slow grower , But Very Hardy . I had a bad overdose which killed 90% of my Euphyllias , But this survived. I'll Try to get a decent Pick to post .
