Toxic Green Multi-Head Splatter Hammer Coral – Euphyllia parancora – Radiant Reef Movement with Lush Colouration
Transform your reef tank with the bold brilliance of the Toxic Green Multi-Head Splatter Hammer Coral (Euphyllia parancora). This striking LPS coral is known for its intense neon green colouring, enhanced by a unique splattered texture that fluoresces dramatically under actinic or blue LED lighting. The multiple heads not only increase visual volume but also indicate robust growth and propagation potential.
This coral’s classic hammer-shaped tentacles sway gently with the current, creating lifelike movement that adds vitality to any aquascape. Ideal for mid to lower placements in the aquarium, the coral prefers indirect flow and stable lighting conditions to fully expand and display its intricate form.
While moderately hardy, the Splatter Hammer is semi-aggressive and should be spaced adequately from other corals to avoid contact damage. It’s an excellent centrepiece coral for experienced aquarists or confident beginners with stable tank parameters.
