Pink Dragon Scale Hammer

About this coral

Pink Dragon Scale Hammer is an LPS coral from the hammer coral group (Euphyllia). In an aquarium, it’s valued for its large, fleshy tentacles and polyp extension, making it a striking centerpiece coral in reef-style setups. As with other Euphyllia hammers, it generally does best when provided with moderate lighting and medium water movement, with placement that helps prevent the tentacles from being blasted or stressed by strong currents.

Features:

• Euphyllia hammer coral form with a dramatic, tentacled appearance that typically extends outward for feeding and display
• Generally suited to moderate light levels rather than intense, high-heat lighting
• Prefers medium flow to help keep water movement steady without stripping food or damaging tissues
• Often benefits from targeted feeding of appropriately sized meaty foods to supplement photosynthesis (when extended)
• Helps create visual depth in lower-to-mid aquascape areas where moderate conditions are easiest to maintain
• Like many LPS, tends to be more comfortable once acclimated gradually to its final lighting and flow

Specifications:

• Group: Euphyllia (hammer coral), LPS
• Light (general guidance): Moderate light
• Water flow (general guidance): Medium flow
• Placement tip: Position so the tentacles receive gentle, consistent flow (avoid direct strong blasts)
