The distinctive hammer or anchor-shaped tentacle ends provide plenty of movement, while the purple colouration becomes particularly vivid under blue-spectrum reef lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHammer Corals were traditionally classified within \u003cem\u003eEuphyllia\u003c\/em\u003e, which is why they are still commonly called Euphyllia throughout the reef hobby. They have since been moved into the genus \u003cem\u003eFimbriaphyllia\u003c\/em\u003e, alongside Frogspawn and Kingspawn, while Torch Corals remain within \u003cem\u003eEuphyllia\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScientific Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eFimbriaphyllia paraancora\u003c\/em\u003e (formerly \u003cem\u003eEuphyllia paraancora\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePAR:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100–200\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlow:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate.

Hammer Corals are strongly photosynthetic but can also capture small meaty foods and suitable coral foods.

Give them some room from unrelated neighbouring corals due to their sting. Stable alkalinity, calcium and magnesium, moderate lighting and varied flow provide excellent conditions for full extension, strong growth and vibrant colour.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Happy Reef","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53627171701072,"sku":"THRC-0044","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0921\/9552\/0848\/files\/original_4257fc4f-145c-44b3-8685-c7c517f59aa4.jpg?v=1789685108","url":"https:\/\/www.thehappyreef.com\/products\/indo-purple-tip-hammer-28","provider":"The Happy Reef","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
