    You might have a bicolored one, lucky you they are a little more rarer than the single taint one

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Vendors like to promote multiple colored Hammers. You can get green and blue, green and pink, gold....

    You're pieces looks healthy as well as the coral around it.

    If you want to compare just google: multi colored hammer corals.
