Aussie Canary Branching Hammer

About this coral

Aussie Canary Branching Hammer is a hammer-type LPS coral in the Euphyllia group. In an aquarium, it’s valued for its branching, tentacled appearance and for the way its polyps extend into the water column under suitable conditions. Use it as a centerpiece or focal LPS in a reef-style setup where lighting and water movement match Euphyllia’s general needs, helping it maintain an active, extended look.

Features:

• Euphyllia hammer corals are generally most comfortable under moderate lighting, which supports their photosynthetic lifestyle.
• Medium, indirect water flow is typically preferred to help keep tentacles extended without blasting the tissue.
• Place the coral so it can reach consistent light while still receiving gentle, sweeping flow.
• As an LPS coral, it benefits from stable reef conditions and careful handling during placement and acclimation.
• With appropriate flow and light, the tentacles are more likely to display natural, feeding-focused behavior.
• Use reef-appropriate aquascaping to reduce contact with other corals, since Euphyllia corals are sensitive to neighboring tissue.
• If you’re building an LPS collection, this coral’s “hammer coral” care profile pairs well with other LPS that tolerate similar moderate light and flow.
