Splatter Hammer Coral - Care Requirements

Splatter Hammer Coral is a Euphyllia hammer coral with LPS care requirements. This WYSIWYG Euphyllia hammer coral is suited to reef keepers prepared to provide moderate care, stable conditions, and room for its normal daytime 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 to its final intensity and watch for consistent expansion as it settles into the aquarium.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. Water movement should gently move the tissue without blasting it with a strong direct stream.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with adequate open space around the coral, then allow time to adjust before making placement changes.

Temperament

Allow generous spacing from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive hammer coral can extend sweepers and sting nearby corals, especially after it has expanded fully.

Feeding

Occasional meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feed gently when desired and avoid creating a heavy buildup of uneaten food.

General Care

Keep salinity, alkalinity, temperature, and nutrient levels stable rather than making rapid adjustments. Observe tissue expansion and response to flow and lighting, then make changes gradually when needed.

Give it stable conditions, gentle movement, and room from nearby corals.
