Hammer corals (Fimbriaphyllia ancora, formerly Euphyllia) are LPS corals from the Indo-Pacific with hammer- or anchor-shaped tentacle tips. They're one of the most popular LPS in the hobby. Actual frag may vary slightly.
Care: Moderate light and flow. Keep alkalinity stable and give it a few inches from non-Euphyllia corals.

Notes from the King:
"Hammers are one of my go-to LPS. I keep them low to mid in the tank with medium flow so the heads sway but don't get blasted. A little mysis every week or so helps them grow faster. Just give them some space from other corals."
