Splatter Hammer Euphyllia Coral is a Euphyllia hammer coral with a moderate care profile. This WYSIWYG hammer coral is an LPS selection suited to reef keepers prepared to provide moderate lighting, indirect varied flow, and room for 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 intended intensity and observe its expansion as it adjusts to placement.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. Avoid strong direct flow, which can prevent comfortable expansion and irritate the coral.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Give it time to settle after placement, then adjust only if its expansion suggests conditions need refinement.

Temperament

Allow generous space from neighboring corals. Hammer corals are semi-aggressive, can expand beyond their base, and have stinging potential when they contact nearby corals.

Feeding

Occasional meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feeding can be done gently without blasting the coral with flow.

General Care

Keep salinity, alkalinity, temperature, and nutrient levels stable rather than making rapid corrections. Watch expansion and tissue condition regularly, and make changes gradually when placement, flow, or lighting needs adjustment.

Provide steady conditions, indirect movement, and adequate spacing for best long-term care.
