Stunning Salmon Hammer Coral for Your Reef Tank

Add a touch of vibrant color and dynamic movement with the exquisite Salmon Hammer Coral, a prized LPS coral for any reef enthusiast.

Overview
The Salmon Hammer Coral (*Fimbriaphyllia paraancora*) boasts distinctive hammer or anchor-shaped tentacle tips in captivating shades of salmon and orange-pink. This branching LPS coral features large polyps that extend beautifully, creating a flowing, mesmerizing display in moderate water flow. While generally peaceful, be aware of its potential to extend long “sweeper” tentacles for defense, so provide adequate space from neighboring corals. Its unique morphology and vibrant coloration make it a standout addition to a mature reef aquarium.

Care Level
Considered a moderate care coral, the Salmon Hammer Coral thrives in stable reef environments. It is adaptable to various conditions but benefits from consistent water parameters and attention to its semi-aggressive nature due to sweeper tentacles. Proper placement and spacing are key to ensuring peaceful coexistence with other reef inhabitants.

Tank Essentials
A mature reef aquarium of at least 75 litres is recommended to provide stable conditions for this coral. Maintain moderate, indirect water flow to encourage polyp extension without causing tissue damage. Moderate lighting, around 80-150 PAR, is ideal. Crucially, ensure stable water parameters, including a pH range of 8.1–8.4, alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium levels.

Diet
Primarily photosynthetic, the Salmon Hammer Coral derives energy from its symbiotic zooxanthellae. For optimal health and growth, supplement its diet with target feedings of meaty marine foods like mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, or specialized coral foods a few times a week.
