Transform your saltwater aquarium with the stunning beauty of Hammer Coral, a favourite among aquarists for its flowing movement and vibrant colours. Known scientifically as Euphyllia Ancora, Hammer Coral is named for its unique hammer-shaped tentacles that add an elegant touch to any reef setup.
Why Choose Hammer Coral?
Hammer Coral is not only visually captivating but also a versatile and hardy addition to your tank. Here’s why it’s a must-have for your reef:
-
Striking Appearance: The distinctive hammer-like polyps sway gracefully in the water, creating a mesmerising display.
-
Colour Variety: Available in shades of green, gold, pink, and even bi-colour combinations, Hammer Coral adds vibrant contrast to your reef.
