Aussie Canary Splatter Hammer

About this coral

Aussie Canary Splatter Hammer is an LPS coral in the Euphyllia group. “Splatter Hammer” is a commonly used trade name, so the best way to think of this coral is as a hammer-type Euphyllia you can place for a bold, reef centerpiece while following general Euphyllia care guidance. In practice, it’s valued for its classic hammer-like polyp form and the way it responds to appropriate lighting and water movement.

Features:

• Belongs to the Euphyllia (hammer-type) LPS group, commonly appreciated for its distinctive polyp appearance.
• General guidance: Euphyllia corals thrive in moderate light, making them well-suited to many reef setups without needing very high intensity.
• General guidance: provide medium, consistent flow—strong blasts can stress Euphyllia while still requiring enough movement to keep tissues healthy.
• Placement matters: position where the coral can open comfortably and won’t be regularly hit by powerhead jets or other corals.
• Avoid handling and rough contact; Euphyllia are best kept undisturbed once established.
• Acclimate gradually to your aquarium’s light and flow to reduce stress.
• If you keep mixed reef livestock, give it space—LPS corals can be sensitive to nearby contact and competing growth.

Specifications:

• Coral group: Euphyllia (hammer-type) LPS
• Light (general guidance): Moderate light
• Water flow (general guidance): Medium flow
• Tank placement (general guidance): Low-to-moderate, stable flow area where the coral can open without direct blasting from pumps
