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.

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