Golden Hammer Euphyllia Coral - Care Requirements

Golden Hammer Euphyllia Coral is a Euphyllia hammer coral with moderate-care LPS requirements. This WYSIWYG Euphyllia hammer coral is suited to reef keepers prepared to provide consistent conditions, measured placement, and room for its fleshy polyps to expand.

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. Introduce it gradually to its intended intensity and watch polyp expansion as it settles into the aquarium.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. Water movement should gently move the polyps without blasting the coral with strong direct current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Allow time to acclimate after placement, and avoid frequent moves while it adjusts.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral generous spacing. Expanded polyps can sting nearby corals, so keep vulnerable neighbors beyond its reach.

Feeding

Occasional meaty foods can be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feed gently when polyps are receptive and avoid overfeeding.

General Care

Maintain stable salinity, alkalinity, temperature, and nutrient levels rather than making rapid corrections. Observe expansion, tissue condition, and response to light and flow, then make gradual adjustments if needed.

Stable conditions and thoughtful spacing support long-term hammer coral health.
