An Indonesian-collected gold branching hammer with smaller, faster-growing 'micro' heads than the Australian type, showing warm gold tentacles over a purplish body.
📜 Backstory
Sold as the 'Indo Gold Branching Hammer' by Tidal Gardens and as Indo/micro gold hammer single heads by TSM Aquatics and Barrier Reef Aquariums. The 'Indo' label distinguishes the smaller-polyp Indonesian import from the Australian gold hammers; it is a wild-collected regional form.
Keeper tips for this variant
Because the Indo heads are smaller, give moderate light and gentle indirect flow and let colonies branch out on open low rock. Still leave space for sweeper tentacles.
