Indo Orange Hammer

About this coral

Indo Orange Hammer is an LPS coral in the Euphyllia group (often referred to as hammer coral). It’s typically sold as an aquarium coral for reef-style displays, where its sweeping tentacles and sturdy LPS body add movement and texture. Practical use: it can be a centerpiece coral in a compatible reef tank, helping create a natural-looking hard-coral layout while providing a hardy, established feeding target in an LPS mix. Group-level guidance below is based on Euphyllia coral care, since named color-morph traits may vary by supplier.

Features:

• LPS Euphyllia coral for reef aquariums, valued for its distinctive hammer-like tentacles
• Generally does best with moderate lighting for stable growth
• Prefers medium water flow to keep tentacles fed and comfortable without excessive blast
• Creates a striking focal point when placed where it receives regular water movement
• Responds well to gentle spot-feeding of small meaty foods to supplement nutrient needs
• Like many stinging corals, it benefits from adequate spacing from other corals to reduce contact stress
• Best suited to aquarists who can maintain consistent water quality typical of reef systems
