Thors Hammer Acan Coral is a Euphyllia hammer coral with fleshy polyp structure. This WYSIWYG Euphyllia hammer coral is suited to reef keepers who can provide moderate care, stable conditions, and room for its polyps to expand without nearby coral interference.

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. Introduce it gradually to its intended intensity and watch its expansion and overall response as it acclimates.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. Water movement should gently reach the polyps without blasting them with strong direct current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Allow space around the colony for full expansion, and acclimate it carefully when moving into the aquarium.

Temperament

Give it generous spacing from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive hammer coral can sting nearby specimens, especially when its polyps are fully expanded.

Feeding

Occasional meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Keep portions modest and observe how the coral responds.

General Care

Maintain stable salinity, alkalinity, temperature, and nutrient levels rather than making rapid adjustments. Regularly observe polyp expansion, tissue condition, and nearby spacing, then make gradual corrections when needed.

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