Rose Hammer Euphyllia Coral - Care Requirements

Rose Hammer Euphyllia Coral is a Euphyllia hammer coral, an LPS coral with expandable polyps. This WYSIWYG hammer coral has moderate care needs and is suited to a reef aquarium with appropriate lighting, indirect flow, and space from nearby corals. Careful placement helps support comfortable polyp 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. Acclimate gradually after introduction and observe polyp expansion as the coral adjusts to its selected location.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. Avoid strong direct flow, which can irritate fleshy tissue and limit comfortable expansion.

Placement

Place this coral in lower to middle reef areas. Allow room around it, then acclimate carefully while monitoring its response to local lighting and flow.

Temperament

Leave generous spacing from neighboring corals. Hammer corals are semi-aggressive with stinging potential when expanded, so keep tentacles from reaching nearby specimens.

Feeding

Offer occasional meaty foods if desired; feeding is optional. Use gentle flow during feeding so food can remain near the polyps.

General Care

Maintain stable salinity, alkalinity, temperature, and nutrient levels instead of making rapid corrections. Watch expansion regularly, keep direct flow off the tissue, and make placement adjustments gradually when needed.

Stable conditions, indirect flow, and adequate spacing support long-term care.
