Aussie Ice Tips Hammer

About this coral

Aussie Ice Tips Hammer is an LPS (large polyp stony) coral from the Euphyllia group, commonly sold as “hammer coral” types. In practical terms, it’s a centerpiece coral you can place where its fleshy polyps can sway in the current, and where it can receive moderate light. Euphyllia corals generally do best with medium flow and stable, clean reef conditions, making them a popular choice for hobbyists who want an LPS that benefits from gentle water movement and regular maintenance.

Features:

• Belongs to the Euphyllia (hammer coral) type within LPS corals, known for fleshy, swaying polyps.
• Generally prefers moderate light levels rather than intense, direct high-output lighting.
• Does best with medium flow—enough movement to keep the coral clear, but not so much that polyps are blasted.
• A useful “display” coral: placement in a visible area lets you enjoy polyp extension and motion.
• Like many corals, it benefits from stable water quality and routine aquarium upkeep to reduce stress.
• Best kept with thoughtful spacing from other corals to help minimize unwanted competition and contact.

Specifications:
