Indo Nuclear Hammer

About this coral

Indo Nuclear Hammer is an Aqua SD listing for an Euphyllia “hammer” type LPS coral (commonly grouped with hammer/torch/frogspawn corals). In the aquarium, Euphyllia hammers are valued for their long, sweeping tentacles used to capture food and for their responsive behavior when placed in stable conditions.

Features:

• Hammer-type Euphyllia are generally kept under moderate lighting and medium flow for good tentacle extension.
• Provide moderate, indirect flow—too much force can keep fleshy polyps from opening comfortably (and too little water movement can reduce feeding efficiency).
• Acclimate gradually to avoid light shock when first adding or repositioning.
• Feed meaty foods when tentacles are extended; many keepers use mysis or other fine marine fare to supplement nutrient needs.
• Give the coral space; Euphyllia in this group can compete for room as they grow.
• Stability matters: consistent lighting, flow, and water chemistry support healthy polyp extension.

Specifications:

• Care level (group guidance): Moderate
• Lighting (group guidance): Moderate to strong (acclimate gradually)
• Water flow (group guidance): Medium, indirect flow (often low-to-medium to protect polyp tissue)
• Diet: Meaty foods such as mysis and other fine meaty items
• Temperature: 24–26 °C
• Salinity (SG): 1.023–1.026
• pH (typical target range): 8.1–8.4
• Calcium (typical target range): 400–420 ppm
