Indo Dragon Scale Hammer

About this coral

Indo Dragon Scale Hammer is an LPS (large-polyp stony) coral commonly kept as a “hammer” style Euphyllia. In the aquarium, it’s valued for its flowing, tentacled polyps and is typically placed where it can capture food while still maintaining the moderate light and medium flow that Euphyllia corals prefer. Use it as a centerpiece or focal coral in a peaceful reef layout, and plan your aquascape so the coral’s long-reaching polyps can extend without being knocked by other animals or rockwork.

Features:

• Hammer-style polyp display that can sway with the current
• Euphyllia-style placement works best with moderate lighting rather than high-intensity spots
• Medium water flow helps keep the coral’s feeding tentacles active without blasting it
• Generally benefits from regular, appropriately sized feedings of meaty foods
• Do well in stable, well-established reef systems (avoid frequent swings in water conditions)
• Space the coral thoughtfully to reduce the chance of sweeper-tentacle contact with nearby corals
• A good candidate for aquarists who want an LPS that responds to current and feeding routines
