Hammer corals (Euphyllia or Fimbriaphyllia species) are popular large polyp stony (LPS) corals known for their flowing, hammer- or anchor-shaped tentacle tips. They provide great motion and vibrant color to a reef aquarium.
Lighting Requirements
- PAR Range: Keep them in low to moderate lighting, roughly 80 to 150 PAR (some can tolerate up to 250 PAR, but lower ranges prevent light shock).
- Spectrum: A strong blue and violet spectrum helps bring out their neon coloration.
Water Flow
- Motion: The tentacles should sway gently (“lightly dancing”) in a random or pulsing current without being blasted or pinned to one side.
- Warning: Too much direct flow tears the delicate flesh against the skeleton, while too little allows debris and sand to settle and cause infections.
Water Parameters
- Temperature: 75°F – 80°F (24°C – 27°C)
- Salinity: 1.024 – 1.026 SG (1.025 ideal)
- pH: 8.1 – 8.4
- Alkalinity: 8 – 12 dKH
- Calcium: 400 – 450 ppm
- Magnesium: 1250 – 1350 ppm
- Nutrients: Nitrates around 5–10 ppm and phosphates around 0.05–0.1 ppm help support health and color
