Green Hammer Coral

About Green Hammer Coral

The Green Hammer coral (Euphyllia ancora) has tentacles ending in hammer or anchor-shaped tips, coloured bright green that fluoresces under blue light. It is a staple large-polyp coral that brings movement to the middle of the reef. Hammers get along with frogspawn, so the two can be grouped into a Euphyllia garden.

Green Hammer Coral care at a glance

• Lighting: Moderate – roughly 100 to 200 PAR
• Water flow: Gentle to moderate, indirect flow that sways the tentacles without flattening them
• Placement: Lower to middle rockwork with 10 to 15 cm of space around it
• Feeding: Photosynthetic; enjoys small meaty foods such as mysis once or twice a week
• Care level: Moderate

For long-term health keep the water stable: 24 to 26°C, salinity 1.025, alkalinity 8 to 11 dKH, calcium 400 to 450 ppm and magnesium around 1,300 ppm. Start new arrivals lower in the tank and move them up over a couple of weeks so they adjust to your lighting.
