Hammer coral (Euphyllia ancora) is a popular LPS coral recognized for its unique hammer or anchor-shaped tentacle tips. It thrives in moderate lighting and gentle, indirect flow, allowing its polyps to extend and sway smoothly. This coral is relatively beginner-friendly but requires stable water parameters to maintain its health and coloration. Its movement and bold appearance make it a standout in reef tanks, though it should be given space due to its ability to sting nearby corals.
