Euphyllia Branching Hammer Golden Nugget WYSIWYG - DNZ / 262

Description

Euphyllia Branching Hammer Golden Nugget – hammer LPS coral with fleshy, hammer-shaped tentacle tips.

You receive the exact specimen shown in the original photographs. Specimen 262. The photographs were taken under blue aquarium lighting; colours can look different under your own lighting.

Offered as German aquaculture (DNZ). Give it a stable position and gradually acclimate it to your lighting and flow.

Light and flow

Light: moderate; initially protect the coral from intense light hotspots. Flow: gentle to moderate and variable; polyps should move without being forced to one side.

Placement in your reef

Secure the skeleton or frag base and allow room for the fully expanded polyps.

Feeding and ongoing care

Occasionally offer small suitable marine food particles when feeding responses are visible; never force food into the mouth.

Glue only the skeleton or frag base. Direct pump jets and contact with other Euphyllia types can damage the delicate tissue.

Keep water conditions stable

As a general reef starting point: 24–26 °C, salinity 34–35 PSU, alkalinity 7–8.5 dKH, calcium 410–450 mg/l and magnesium 1,250–1,400 mg/l. Stability matters more than abruptly chasing a number. Avoid complete nutrient depletion and check trends rather than reacting to a single reading.
