Splatter Hammer Euhyllia Coral

Splatter Hammer Euhyllia Coral - Care Requirements

Splatter Hammer Euhyllia Coral is a WYSIWYG Euphyllia hammer coral with flowing polyps. This LPS coral is selected as a WYSIWYG piece, so the photographed specimen is the one you receive. Its hammer-shaped polyps add gentle movement when maintained in an appropriate reef setting.

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. Start with a gentler position during acclimation, then observe polyp expansion and adjust placement gradually if needed.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow that keeps the polyps moving without blasting them. Avoid strong direct flow, which can prevent comfortable expansion.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with room to expand. Acclimate gradually and choose a stable location rather than making frequent placement changes.

Temperament

Allow generous spacing from nearby corals. Hammer corals are semi-aggressive and may sting neighboring corals as their polyps expand, especially when placed too closely.

Feeding

Occasional meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Feed gently and avoid overfeeding the system.

General Care

Maintain stable salinity, alkalinity, temperature, and nutrient levels rather than chasing rapid adjustments. Watch for consistent polyp expansion, and address changes by checking flow, lighting, placement, and overall tank stability.

Give this hammer coral space, indirect flow, and stable conditions.
