I have this red/pink hammer that I got from Low Tide Corals. I was just over there a couple of days ago and he still has one moreI'm also trying to collect all the hammers. I started searching a few months ago. The most spectacular hammer I've seen in person was a mini colony of different colored hammers and tentacles. There were the common blue greens and purples, but this one also had part of the colony with gold hammers. Besides that the other two rarest variations I've seen are two variations of gold hammer. One has gold tentacles and clear hammers but looks blue under blue light. I think some companies call it hologram but I'm not sure if it’s the same. The other one has blue tentacles and the hammers are really bright. It was called a yellow hammer at the lfs. I'm mainly looking for a blue and red/pink hammer but if I see a frag I don't have I'm tempted to buy it.
Lol I used to go crazy when I saw a new color for the first time. I'm still pretty obsessed with fimbriaphyllia but I need to start walking instead of running. I have good lfs in my area I saw new frags of yellow and reverse gold so they don't feel as rare anymore. The first time I saw a yellow mini colony I was like WOW I've seen fancy pictures of them online. I talked to the owner and he said there's nothing so rare he's only seen it once. When they get new shipments they do 25% off while its acclimating in the bag. He was like if you come every week eventually you'll find what you're looking for and for 25% off you can't complain.I have this red/pink hammer that I got from Low Tide Corals.

That is one very impressive hammer collection!!Hey again everyone.... Have an awesome update here.
When I tell people I'm trying to collect hammers, I get a lot of responses about how they're a boring coral, and "yeah I've seen everything, very rare I see a new one" is common. There are definitely some mainstay hammers that seem to be in most people's reefs, but I stumbled upon a reefer who has undoubtedly the most amazing hammer collection I have seen, and maybe the best out there (would love to be proved wrong on this).
Behold the collection of @Bd.reef (Bpd_Coral_Consulting on IG). Posted with his permission of course!

Simply awesome. Seeing these rare specimens just makes me really ponder what is potentially out there that no one has yet seen.
As a reminder, if anyone has any of these amazing hammers up for trade or sale please reach out! Thanks for reading.
