Is this a hammer or a torch?

I bought this little frag from Zac’s Reef in SC three days ago for $25 under the assumption that it was a hammer. Now, I am starting to think that it is actually a torch. Could it just be a hammer with long sweepers or is this a torch? If he is, I need to move him away from my hammers so he doesn’t sting them.

its not a hammer coral so yes, a torch. It doesnt have very wild colors so probably why it was cheap. Cool find!

torch and appears to be bleached. Assure not too much white intensity and that calcium is at least 400

Aweseome! Its colors are somewhat more vibrant than they appear in the video so I'm stoked! Hopefully it colors up a little more as it adjusts to my light

I have “long tentacle” hammer but it has “hammer tips”

I got a torch for 55 at reefapalooza and its kind of boring but has 3 heads and blue tips. I figured why not for that price.

That is what I assumed it might be, but I suppose it doesn't have hammer-like tips at all

This is a joke, right? Hard to tell sometimes.

Now I’m not so sure. With my flow off, the tips look like little hammer tips? Is it some kind of hybrid?

Frammer?

my lfs called this a frammer.

Not a Frammer

Yours may be. If one tentacle has multiple tips that is a Frammer.

OP's does not.
