{"product_id":"orange-hammer-coral-2","title":"Orange Hammer Coral","description":"\u003cp\u003eHammer corals are a cornerstone of the reef aquarium hobby, easily recognized by their rhythmic swaying and distinctive polyp shape. As a member of the Euphyllidae family, they are known for bringing colour and movement to a reef tank. This variety presents a solid orange colouration that holds well under a range of lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe common name comes from the characteristic hammer or anchor-shaped tips at the end of each tentacle. These polyps extend from a branching stony skeleton and will create a colony over time. In a gentle current, the flowing tentacles provide a visual centerpiece. This orange colouration is consistent across the polyps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a home reef, an Orange Hammer Coral does best with low to moderate light and indirect water flow. A PAR range of 75-150 is a good target. Excessive flow can irritate the polyps and prevent them from opening fully. While it gets most of its energy from its photosynthetic zooxanthellae, it can benefit from occasional feedings of small meaty foods. Be sure to provide ample space, as its sweeper tentacles can extend 10-15cm at night and will sting other corals that are too close. Keep water parameters stable, with calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium in their target ranges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a WYSIWYG item, so you'll receive the exact specimen pictured.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eastern Marine Aquariums","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42316444106807,"sku":"EMA-LPS-20260710-0GT6","price":300.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1849\/1739\/files\/d504055b-afa8-48fb-b803-fae922b4cdc7-46-_MG_4340.png?v=1783710821","url":"https:\/\/easternmarineaquariums.co.nz\/products\/orange-hammer-coral-2","provider":"EasternMarine Aquariums","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
