Splatter Hammer Coral – Care Guide 🌈🔨

(Euphyllia ancora / paraancora hybrid)

The Splatter Hammer is a stunner with unpredictable streaks of neon green, yellow, or even pink across its fleshy hammer-shaped tentacles. A wild twist on a reef favorite that brings motion and color to any tank.

Lighting:

💡 Moderate (75–150 PAR)

Too much light may cause bleaching—acclimate slowly if moving higher.

Flow:

🌊 Moderate, indirect

Gentle swaying is the goal. Too much flow may cause retraction or damage the flesh.

Water Parameters:

• Temp: 76–78°F

• Salinity: 1.025

• dKH: 8–9

• Calcium: 420–450 ppm

• Magnesium: 1300–1400 ppm

• Nitrate: 2–10 ppm

• Phosphate: 0.02–0.08 ppm

Placement:

📍 Mid to lower areas with space

Avoid placing near aggressive corals—splatter hammers can extend sweeper tentacles several inches.

Feeding:

🍤 Optional but appreciated

Target feed with small meaty foods like mysis or reef nutrition blends 1x/week for boosted growth.

Care Level:

✅ Easy to Moderate

Perfect for LPS lovers looking for movement, personality, and bold color. Maintain stable parameters for long-term health.
