A beautiful and delicate coral, when provided with the right conditions can thrive. Place far enough away from other corals, as its sweeper tentacles may harm others when they are extended at night. |

The Branched Hammer Coral (Euphyllia paranchora) is sometimes called a Hammer Coral, a Branching Anchor Coral, or an Anchor Coral. It belongs to the family named Caryophylliidae. The Branched Hammer Coral is aggressive in nature and moderately hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Euphyllia paranchora in general should have standard (3 watts/gallon) light to thrive. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include high water quality and a moderate water current.
