Pink Hammer coral?

GeeWizzItsMe · 10-16-2007, 08:38 PM

I read on Mr.Coral.com that pink hammer coral from Australia was "super rare"? This is because I see a hammer just like this week after week when I go to my favorite LFS (same one). It is beatiful, but no one seems to want it, and it isn't even expensive at all! I don't know the exact price though... At first I thought it might be bleached, but is it just a rare type of the wall hammer? I want it if it is lol! I get my new lights and hopefully permit in 2 weeks!!!

Depends on how pink you are talking. I have had several that were between pink and light brown. I have never seen one really "pink"

GeeWizzItsMe · 10-16-2007, 08:45 PM

It was really pink! Not like HOT pink like baby pink lol!

GeeWizzItsMe · 10-16-2007, 08:45 PM

It was under t5s too!

If you like it, then get it. Unless you have a fish like my tang who likes to eat them. Personally I love them, but hubby loves that fish. lol

I have a pink Hammer it's a very light pink
Not a great pic but the best one I can find on the net at the moment I'll have to upload a better one

GeeWizzItsMe · 10-16-2007, 10:49 PM

Cool! Was it expensive and called rare? PS the one I saw was a bit more purpley like the one on Mr.Coral, but it was very similar to your beautiful one dobejazz!

I'm not sure how much I paid but it wasn't *expensive* maybe 20-30 dollars that tends to be my limit on corals.

I see them all the time at the wholesalers. I have never seen a 'vibrant' pink one though. The pinks are more common than the metalic green. Those are much more costly.

GeeWizzItsMe · 10-16-2007, 10:56 PM

yeah, same here. Maybe mr.coral is just exadurating (sp I hate that word)

Mine is most def not Vibrant it is more pink that the pic shows though it doesn't photograph well

Techno-Vicki · 10-16-2007, 11:00 PM

Possibly the issue could be that it is from Australia. Things cost more from there. I don't know. I will ask Sergio (the owner at ERI) on Sunday what he thinks.

GeeWizzItsMe · 10-16-2007, 11:01 PM

Thanks Vicki! That was my second guess..

BigAl07 · 10-16-2007, 11:35 PM

So are you getting it buddy?

I LOVE my hammer coral! It's not pink at all but very Green. Not sure if it's "metallic" green or not but it's really cook looking.

Get some pics of it buddy!!

GeeWizzItsMe · 10-16-2007, 11:37 PM

I'm not sure if I will get it... I already want some zoas there, but I feel like I should wait to buy anything else until my bday (my MHs!) Plus, I really can't buy them because of my current lights...

Plus, I am getting an AWESOME frag from michael_cb, and I don't want to many of one coral lol!
