Bi Color Splatter Hammer coral

Bi Color Splatter Hammer coral - Care Requirements

Bi Color Splatter Hammer coral is a Euphyllia hammer coral with moderate-care LPS requirements. This WYSIWYG Euphyllia hammer coral is suited to reef keepers prepared to provide moderate lighting, gentle varied movement, and stable conditions. Its fleshy hammer polyps need room to expand without contact from neighboring corals.

This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Moderate lighting
• Flow: Moderate, indirect and varied flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Semi-aggressive
• Care Level: Moderate

Lighting

Provide moderate lighting and acclimate gradually to its final intensity. Observe polyp expansion during adjustment, and avoid sudden lighting changes that can cause stress.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow that moves the polyps gently. Avoid strong direct flow, which can keep the coral retracted or irritate its fleshy tissue.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with open space around the colony. Acclimate gradually after introduction and confirm that its polyps can expand freely.

Temperament

Allow generous spacing from neighboring corals because this semi-aggressive hammer coral has stinging potential. Its expanded polyps and sweepers can reach nearby specimens, especially as conditions change.

Feeding

Occasional meaty foods can be offered as an optional supplement. Feed gently when polyps are receptive, and avoid overfeeding or allowing food to settle on tissue.

General Care

Keep salinity, alkalinity, temperature, and nutrient levels stable rather than making rapid corrections. Check regularly for consistent expansion, tissue condition, and response to flow, then adjust placement or flow gradually when needed.

Give it stable conditions, indirect movement, and enough room to expand.
