Splatter Branching Hammer Coral
Branching Hammer corals (Euphyllia ancora or fimbriata) are hardy, fast-growing LPS corals that thrive in stable reef tanks with low-to-moderate light and should be placed with ample space to avoid stinging neighbors.
Key Care Requirements:
Lighting: Moderate light.
They can be placed on the lower-middle of the reef. Too much light can cause stress, while too little may slow growth.
Flow: Low to moderate, indirect flow is essential. The tentacles should sway gently, not thrash.
Excessive flow can cause tissue damage and recession.
Water Quality: Stable parameters are paramount.
Placement & Spacing:
Give them inches of space from other corals, as they have sweeper tentacles.
Feeding: While photosynthetic, they benefit from occasional target feeding of meaty foods (mysis shrimp) or reef roids, which can promote faster growth.
Health Indicators: A healthy hammer has a thick, full, and extended polyp structure covering the skeleton.
Branching hammers are excellent for beginners in established tanks and can be fragmented once they grow large.
