Nver knew one existed. I don't think there is such a thing. Although my hammer looks pretty blue under my T5 actinics.

But is not blue or anything. Just the actinic.

kaserpick have you heard about one before? If so where? Or, where did you see one before?

Borneman has a picture of one in his book "Aquarium Corals". I would swear I was some a while back but in another thread a week or so ago only one person has seen it lately, and that was a frag that he wasn't even sure about the color of.

I have heard of them. I think I saw a picture of one in an aquarium in Brazil.

There is a great picture of a blue hammer in The Reef Aquarium Vol 1 or 2. Can't remember which one, but it's in the first few pages. I think it's the same one SPSFiend is talking about, and I think the entire tank is AMAZING! Check it out!

I have a hammer I call blue.

It has brown tentacles with blue tips. I run 20k's and the blue is a little washed out under tank lights. Oddly enough, in the bag under natural sunlight it looked more blue than it does in tank. It's a wall hammer, and it had two heads when I bought it so I split them up and put them in different parts of the tank. They grow but never split, typical of wall hammers.

It's not a shocking bright blue, but it is a definite blue hue on the tips. Pretty cool, but it won't be the first thing people look at in your tank. My green with pink tips frogspawn is above it and people don't even notice the little blue hammer hehe.

I went and snapped a pic, sorry about the algae on the glass, i'm lazy.

I think mine is blue as well (in normal lighting, not actinics : P). I'll post a picture of it tomorrow. Thanks for the response sorry it took me so long to respond back.

[kaserpick]

192 W PC lighting...it's a pretty cheap light.

Thats about what I would expect a blue hammer to look like.
I'd say put me down for a head or two when you are ready to frag it.

[kaserpick]

I'll keep that in mind Thurge :P
