Fully extended, its fleshy hammer-shaped polyps form a flowing mass of colour and movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHammer Corals were traditionally classified within \u003cem\u003eEuphyllia\u003c\/em\u003e and are still widely known by that name in the reef 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 are strongly photosynthetic but will also capture appropriately sized coral foods and small meaty foods.

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, colour and growth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Happy Reef","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53627170586960,"sku":"THRC-0046","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.thehappyreef.com\/products\/reverse-hammer-74","provider":"The Happy Reef","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
