🧬 Overview
The Euphyllia ancora “Pink Hammer” is a highly sought-after LPS coral known for its graceful movement and refined coloration. Its hammer-shaped tentacles sway gently in the current, creating a calming yet visually engaging presence in the aquarium.
The pink colouration adds a softer, more elegant tone compared to typical green or gold hammers, making it ideal for creating contrast and balance within mixed reef systems. Under blue lighting, the fluorescence enhances its visual appeal, while under daylight it maintains a clean and natural look.
As the colony grows, it forms dense clusters of fleshy polyps, increasing both volume and impact.
