Splatter Hammer (Euphyllia ancora)

This Splatter Hammer is a dense, rounded colony covered in bright neon green hammer-shaped tips. Many of the tips carry a fine, net-like pattern with dark splatter marks, which gives the coral its name. The tentacle stalks underneath are a deep purple-maroon that contrasts sharply with the glowing green heads. According to staff notes, the piece has 3 splitting heads, so it should keep branching into a fuller colony as it grows.

Hammer corals add movement and bold color to an LPS or mixed reef, and the green and purple on this piece will stand out under blue actinic lighting. It does best at mid-level in moderate light and gentle to moderate flow, where the tentacles can sway without being battered. Leave plenty of space around it, because it can sting nearby corals. It makes an eye-catching centerpiece for an LPS-focused display.
