Toxic Green Hammer - Single Head

Toxic Green Hammer Coral Frag (Euphyllia paraancora)

Description:
The Toxic Green Hammer Coral is a brilliant LPS showpiece, loved for its intensely fluorescent green coloration and distinctive hammer-shaped tentacles. Under actinic and blue-spectrum lighting its tips glow with an electrifying neon hue, creating a striking visual centerpiece in any reef aquarium. This coral’s flowing movement and vivid coloration make it a must-have for both beginner and experienced reef enthusiasts.

Each frag is aquacultured for hardiness and acclimates well to established reef systems with stable water conditions.

Care Level: Easy to Moderate
Temperament: Semi-aggressive (may extend sweeper tentacles at night)
Placement: Mid to lower regions of the aquarium with space to expand and avoid stinging nearby corals.

Ideal Water Parameters

Feeding & Nutrition:

The Toxic Green Hammer Coral contains zooxanthellae, which provide most of its nutritional needs through photosynthesis. However, it benefits from occasional supplemental feedings of meaty micro-foods such as mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, or coral-targeted foods once or twice weekly to promote faster growth and stronger polyp extension.

Notes:

• Allow several inches of space around the coral for sweeper tentacle extension.

• Avoid direct, high-intensity flow or lighting that may cause tissue retraction.

• Ideal for reef tanks with stable water parameters and moderate nutrient levels.

• Can be placed alongside other Euphyllia species such as frogspawn or torch corals with caution.
