Unlike wall-type hammer corals, the branching form grows multiple heads, making it easier to propagate and less prone to tissue damage. Its signature hammer- or anchor-shaped polyps create beautiful movement in the water, adding colour and motion to reef aquariums. This coral prefers moderate lighting and low to moderate flow and should be placed away from other corals due to its semi-aggressive sweeper tentacles. Ideal for intermediate reef hobbyists, the Branching Golden Hammer is a showpiece coral that adds dynamic beauty to any tank.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAquarium Care Requirements:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLighting:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Branching Golden Hammer, Corals prefer moderate lighting conditions.
