Goldie Locks Hammer Coral - Care Requirements

Goldie Locks Hammer Coral is a Euphyllia hammer coral with moderate care requirements. This WYSIWYG Euphyllia LPS coral suits reef keepers seeking a hammer coral with flowing polyps and neon-tipped coloration. Consistent conditions and adequate room for full expansion are important for its care.

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

Use moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually to the intended intensity, monitor expansion, and adjust placement slowly only if the coral shows it needs a change.

Flow

Provide moderate, indirect, varied flow. Gentle water movement should keep polyps moving while avoiding strong direct flow that can inhibit comfortable expansion.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Give it open space for expansion, and acclimate gradually after adding it to the aquarium.

Temperament

Allow generous spacing from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive hammer coral can sting nearby specimens, particularly once it expands fully, so avoid placing it within reach of other corals.

Feeding

Offer occasional meaty foods if desired; feeding is optional. Feed gently when polyps are receptive, and avoid overfeeding.

General Care

Keep salinity, alkalinity, temperature, and nutrient levels stable instead of making rapid adjustments. Regularly observe polyp expansion, tissue condition, flow response, and spacing from nearby corals, then make corrections gradually when needed.

Stable conditions, indirect flow, and proper spacing support long-term hammer coral care.
