Under blue-spectrum reef lighting the fluorescence can be exceptionally bright, while the extended polyps add plenty of movement to the reef.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHammer Corals were traditionally classified within \u003cem\u003eEuphyllia\u003c\/em\u003e and are still commonly called Euphyllia within the hobby. Branching Hammers are now placed within \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 receive most of their energy through photosynthesis but will readily capture appropriately sized coral foods and small meaty foods. Occasional feeding can support faster growth and the development of additional heads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Branching Hammers are rewarding growers, with established heads dividing to gradually produce larger, flowing colonies. Give them some space from unrelated neighbouring corals due to their sting. Stable alkalinity, calcium and magnesium, moderate lighting and varied flow provide excellent conditions for strong extension, growth and intense fluorescence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Happy Reef","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53627171406160,"sku":"THRC-0045","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.thehappyreef.com\/products\/neon-green-hammer-63","provider":"The Happy Reef","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
