Splatter Hammer Coral

Splatter Hammer Coral - Care Requirements

Splatter Hammer Coral is a Euphyllia hammer coral with a WYSIWYG presentation. This LPS coral brings the recognizable form of a hammer coral to reef aquariums, with movement created by its extended polyps. It is suited to moderate care conditions and benefits from a deliberate placement plan.

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 when moving it into brighter conditions, then observe its expansion and overall response before making further lighting changes.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. Water movement should gently circulate around the polyps without blasting them with a strong direct stream.

Placement

Place it in the lower to middle reef areas. Give the coral room to expand fully, and allow time to adjust after introduction before relocating it.

Temperament

Allow generous spacing from nearby corals because it is semi-aggressive and has stinging potential. Its expanded polyps can reach beyond the base, so avoid placing neighbors within that range.

Feeding

Offer occasional meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, and any offered food should be appropriate for the coral’s polyps and overall aquarium routine.

General Care

Maintain stable salinity, alkalinity, temperature, and nutrient levels rather than chasing rapid adjustments. Watch polyp expansion, placement, and flow response regularly, making measured changes when conditions or behavior indicate a need.

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