    Have a hard time finding this exact coral. From my understanding it is a:

    Purple Aussie Wall Anchor Coral
    Purple Aussie Euphyllia Ancora

    Just want to make sure as i hear it's pretty rare and you can tell by trying to google picture of it.

    It actually looks like an aussie orange hammer with purple tips.

    The green is angular on some individuals.

    The color doesn't dictate the species. It could be a branching hammer too, but you can't see the skeleton in the pic. Either way it's a nice coral.

    Sorry I guess I wasnt clear. I have this coral in my tank. There is no green whatsoever and it is a wall type because of the skeleton. I know the color does not dictate the species I was just inquiring as to whether someone else on this forum has this morph of euphyllia ancora.
