I am looking to add a frogspawn and/or hammer coral to my tank. I was wondering what color these corals exhibit. Show me some pics if you think you have the best color.

there are some exceptional neon green / yellow varieties that are much brighter, more rare and expensive than the normal stuff. a littl 1-2" colony could run up to 80-100 smackers.
here is my branching frogspawn
and 2 shots of my anchor hammer coral

big als is great for hardware but I have not seen a good coral there since the hurricane.

hard to tell from the pic, but i think thats a hammer, like my metallic greens, but better color. frogspawn has green or yellow shafts IME.
yea their coral selection usually is mediocre but once in while they get huge shipments in, and of that maybe 20-40% of it is worthwhile. where else do you go? i liked jawz.net on broward, and other stores dont do much for me at all around here

Try exotic aquatic on Oakland Park blvd. They usually have some pretty good corals.
Ninjamini, im in Davie also and the Pet World in the tower shops on University just south of 595 has been getting in some pretty nice corals lately. They usually have some pretty nice frogs, hammers or torch for $40-70. They also have been getting in some really nice little sun corals.

I like exotic aquatic. They often have good corals. Pet World on the other hand is a prime example of what not to do. I have never seen tanks with worse cano, buble algae, hair algae and aspasia all in one tank. I wont buy anything there. They have one aspasia on the wall thats at least 6" fully extended.

Thats true about the wall tanks and i tell them about that all the time when i get water. The floor tanks are pretty clean though, at most maybe some bubble algae. Have you been recently? They got a lot better in the last couple months.
Exotic's is definitely my favorite. They almost always get in some pretty nice corals and they are usually good pricewise.They are the only ones that always have frozen cyclo also.

Never seen the yellow but exotic's had a nice green one like 2 months ago. They are REALLY cool, definitely wanna get one as soon as the new tank is set up.
