Information

Hammer corals are an iconic large polyp stony coral (LPS) that has been a staple in the hobby for generations. They are found all throughout the Pacific reefs and come in a variety of colors and growth forms. Hammer corals sometimes grow in a wall formation while other hammers grow in a branching formation. Either variety makes an excellent show piece coral for a reef aquarium however the branching varieties tend to grow more quickly. 

Lighting

Hammers, Torches, and Frogspawn do not require as much light as some other corals. It can be kept under normal output fluorescents without much difficulty. Hammer corals may extend more readily under subdued lighting, however it may display more attractive colors when placed under stronger lighting. Generally speaking though, these corals maintain consistent coloration and the risks of overexposing the corals to high light outweigh the benefits.

Water Flow

Moderate to strong water movement is recommended. One of the main draws to this type of LPS coral is how it sways in the current. Water flow is both healthy for the Hammer and is pleasing aesthetically.

Feeding

Like most coral, Euphyllia rely to a large extent on photosynthesis, however, they also benefit from direct feeding. Hammers, torches, and frogspawn do not seem to aggressively feed like other LPS, so finding the right food can be a challenge. We have had some good luck with a dry pellet food called Sustainable Aquatics Hatchery Diet. It is intended for use with small fish, but we have tried feeding it to corals like the Euphyllias, which tend to be finicky eaters, with good results.

Warning and Handling

Euphyllia are one of the corals known for extending long sweeper tentacles. Sweeper tentacles are often used as a means of defense against other encroaching coral colonies. Their white tips contain a high concentration of nematcysts that can damage more delicate tank mates. Most of the time, this is not a major problem but to be safe, we recommend placing it in a location far from other corals initially.
