Blue Hammer Colony - WYSIWYG

Blue Hammer Coral

Description:

The Blue Hammer coral is a captivating LPS coral admired for its fluorescent green, hammer- or anchor-shaped tentacles. Its radiant colouration brings movement and vibrancy to any reef aquarium, glowing brilliantly under blue or actinic lighting. Hardy yet visually stunning, this coral is a favourite among hobbyists of all skill levels. Given stable conditions, it will thrive into a flowing colony, making it a true centrepiece in both mixed reef and LPS-focused systems

Aquarium Care Requirements

• Lighting: Moderate lighting (LED, T5, or Metal Halide) to maintain vibrant neon colour.
• Water Flow: Moderate, indirect flow to keep tentacles gently moving while preventing tissue damage.
• Placement: Mid to lower areas of the tank, with enough space for expansion.
• Feeding: Photosynthetic but benefits from occasional feeding with meaty coral foods, such as mysis or enriched brine shrimp.
• Aggression: Semi-aggressive – long sweeper tentacles can sting nearby corals, so leave plenty of room.
