WWC Neon Splatter Branching Hammer
Species: Euphyllia parancora
Coral Type: LPS Coral / Branching Hammer Coral
Description:
WWC Neon Splatter Branching Hammer is a vibrant large polyp stony coral known for its branching skeleton and distinctive hammer-shaped tentacle tips. Its bright coloration and gently swaying polyps create beautiful movement and visual contrast in a reef aquarium. With stable water parameters, suitable lighting, and moderate indirect flow, this branching hammer can grow into an impressive colony and become a standout feature in your reefscape.
Coral Type: LPS Coral / Branching Hammer
Lighting: Low to Moderate — approximately 75–150 PAR
Flow Rate: Low to Moderate, with indirect, turbulent flow that allows the polyps to sway gently without being pushed forcefully
Food Requirements: Primarily photosynthetic; occasional supplemental feeding with small meaty foods or fine particulate coral foods may support growth
Aggression: Semi-aggressive; extended sweeper tentacles can sting nearby corals, so provide adequate spacing
Placement: Lower to middle rockwork on a stable surface, with enough room for the polyps to expand and for the branching skeleton to grow. Avoid placing it where strong flow causes the tentacles to remain compressed.
Quarantine & Biosecurity:
We maintain a rigorous, veterinarian-approved quarantine program designed to protect the health of our coral collection and help reduce the introduction of unwanted pests and pathogens. Each coral is carefully inspected and monitored before being made available, providing an added layer of confidence when introducing new specimens to your reef system.
