Orange Prismatic Wall Hammer

About this coral

ASD Orange Prismatic Wall Hammer is a Euphyllia-style LPS coral (hammer coral type). In an aquarium, it’s prized for its fleshy, extended tentacles and the way it adds movement and presence under appropriate lighting and flow. As a Euphyllia, it generally relies on moderate light for photosynthesis while benefitting from medium, indirect water movement that helps deliver oxygen and keeps detritus from settling on the coral.

Features:

• Hammer-type Euphyllia form fleshy feeding tentacles that extend when conditions are suitable
• General preference for moderate light to support photosynthesis
• Benefits from medium flow to keep water circulating without blasting the tissue
• Helps fill out a reef aquascape in the LPS zone with a bold, sculptural look
• Like many LPS, it can sting nearby corals—allow reasonable spacing when planning your layout
• Typically benefits from a stable reef environment and periodic feeding of meaty foods when available
