Golden Hammer Euphyllia Coral - Care Requirements

Golden Hammer Euphyllia Coral is a Euphyllia hammer coral with moderate LPS care requirements. This WYSIWYG hammer coral offers the recognizable motion and structure associated with Euphyllia for a reef aquarium. It suits keepers prepared to provide measured lighting, indirect flow, and room for full expansion.

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 expansion and response after placement rather than making rapid lighting changes.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow that keeps the polyps moving gently. Avoid strong direct flow, which can prevent comfortable expansion or irritate the coral.

Placement

Place it in a lower to middle reef area with adequate room around it. Let the coral settle after introduction, then adjust placement only if its expansion suggests it is needed.

Temperament

Allow generous spacing from neighboring corals because this semi-aggressive hammer coral can sting nearby specimens. Account for its fully expanded reach when choosing a location.

Feeding

Offer occasional meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, and small targeted portions are preferable to overfeeding the aquarium.

General Care

Maintain stable salinity, alkalinity, temperature, and nutrient levels rather than chasing rapid corrections. Regularly observe polyp expansion, tissue condition, and nearby corals, especially after changes to lighting, flow, or placement.

Give this hammer coral stable conditions and space to expand comfortably.
