Hammer Coral (Euphyllia) is a popular LPS coral known for its branching or wall like skeleton and distinctive hammer or anchor shaped tentacles that create beautiful movement in the aquarium. It thrives in moderate lighting and gentle to moderate, indirect flow that allows the polyps to sway without being blasted. Generally peaceful toward other Euphyllia species, it can extend sweeper tentacles and sting nearby corals, so proper spacing is important. Stable alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium levels are key for healthy growth, and occasional feeding of small meaty foods can encourage faster growth and fuller extension.
