Euphyllia paraancora is a branching Hammer coral. Its large polyps move dramatically in the current, and the tips of its tentacles are hammer- or anchor-shaped. As it grows, the coral forms new heads at the ends of its branching calcareous skeleton.
The species is still commonly known in the hobby as Euphyllia paraancora, even though its current accepted scientific name is Fimbriaphyllia paraancora.
• Branching LPS coral
• Large polyps with hammer- or anchor-shaped tentacle tips
• Forms new individual coral heads as it grows
• Relatively easy to care for in a stable reef aquarium
• Can grow long sweeper tentacles and damage nearby corals
Light: Low–moderate, about 50–150 PAR. Acclimatize new coral to stronger lighting gradually.
Flow: Moderate and variable. Avoid continuous strong direct flow, which can press tissue against the skeleton and damage the coral.
Placement: Leave ample space around the coral. Hammer corals can grow sweeper tentacles whose stinging cells can harm nearby corals.
Feeding: Gets a large part of its energy through photosynthetic symbiotic algae. Target feeding is not essential, but small mysis, pellets, or other protein-rich food suitable for LPS corals can support growth.
Temperature: 24–26 °C
Salinity: 34–35 ppt
KH: 7–9 dKH
Calcium: 400–450 mg/l
Magnesium: 1250–1400 mg/l
Nitrate: 2–15 mg/l
Phosphate: 0.03–0.15 mg/l
pH: 8.0–8.4
Hammer corals build a calcareous skeleton, so the stability of KH and calcium in particular is important. The stability of water parameters is more important than hitting exact target values.
