🧬 Overview
The Euphyllia ancora “Pink Blossom” is a beautiful hammer coral known for its classic green tentacles and elegant pink tips. This colour combination gives the coral a soft floral appearance that stands out beautifully in reef aquariums.
Hammer corals are prized for their distinct hammer-shaped tentacles and flowing movement, creating natural motion and texture within reef aquascapes.
This specimen is offered as a large colony, already displaying strong polyp extension and impressive presence in the aquarium. Under reef LED lighting the fluorescent pigments become especially vivid, with the green glowing brightly while the pink tips add subtle but striking highlights.
As the coral grows, additional heads can develop, gradually forming an even larger branching colony.

📈 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 moderate lighting with gentle indirect flow where the tentacles can sway naturally. Avoid strong direct current which may cause the coral to retract.
Allow adequate spacing between neighbouring corals as Euphyllia species can extend sweeper tentacles.
