🧬 Overview
The Euphyllia paraancora “Reverse” is one of the most recognizable and sought-after branching Hammer Coral colour morphs in the hobby. Featuring brilliant fluorescent green tentacles capped with vivid purple tips, this classic colour combination creates exceptional contrast and movement within the reef aquarium.
Its branching growth structure allows for sustainable propagation while maintaining the large fleshy polyps and flowing appearance that have made Euphyllia corals a cornerstone of modern reef keeping.
Under blue-spectrum lighting, the green fluorescence becomes electric, while the purple tips create a beautiful high-contrast finish that immediately attracts attention. Whether displayed as a single colony or incorporated into a larger Euphyllia garden, the Reverse Hammer remains a timeless collector favourite.
🧾 CTO (Cut-to-Order)
Frags are freshly cut from a healthy, established mother colony and selected for colour, health, and polyp extension.
Please note:
• Healing time may be required before shipping
• Branch count may vary depending on the cut
• Colouration may continue to improve under optimal reef conditions
• You will receive a frag similar to the photographs shown
Selected for:
• Iconic Reverse colour pattern
• Intense neon-green fluorescence
• Vibrant purple tip contrast
• Excellent polyp extension
• Strong branching growth potential
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Euphyllia benefit from both photosynthesis and occasional supplemental feeding.
Recommended feeding:
• Mysis shrimp
• Artemia
• LPS pellets
• Finely chopped marine foods
Target feeding may encourage faster growth, branching, and increased polyp expansion.
📈 Optimal Parameters
Parameter | Ideal Range
Alkalinity (dKH) | 7.5–8.5
Calcium (Ca) | 420–450 ppm
Magnesium (Mg) | 1300–1400 ppm
Nitrate (NO₃) | 5–15 ppm
Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.03–0.10 ppm
📍 Placement
Place in an area with moderate, indirect flow where the polyps can sway naturally. Avoid excessive turbulence and provide adequate spacing from neighbouring corals, as Euphyllia may extend sweeper tentacles during the night.
