{"product_id":"orange-hammer-coral","title":"Orange Hammer Coral","description":"\u003cp\u003eHammer corals, including Fimbriaphyllia ancora, are a longtime favourite in the reef aquarium hobby. They provide a unique combination of colour and movement. This variety shows a distinct orange colouration on its polyps, making it a warm and eye-catching addition to a reef tank. In a home reef, they are generally hardy and straightforward to care for as long as their core needs are met.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe common name comes from the anchor or hammer-shaped tips of its tentacles. During the day, these polyps extend and sway in the current, creating a gentle sense of motion. At night, or if startled, the polyps retract tightly against the coral's branching calcareous skeleton. The movement is one of the most compelling reasons people keep them, as it adds a different kind of life to the static structure of a reef.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor best results, place your Orange Hammer Coral in a spot with moderate, indirect water flow and moderate lighting, somewhere in the 75 to 150 PAR range. Middle tank placement is often a good starting point. While it is photosynthetic, the coral will benefit from occasional target feeding with small meaty foods like mysis shrimp. Like other euphyllia, hammer corals have sweeper tentacles that can extend several centimetres and will sting neighbouring corals. It's important to give them plenty of space. Maintain stable reef parameters, with calcium around 420-440 ppm, alkalinity at 8-9 dKH, and magnesium between 1300-1400.\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":42285632684087,"sku":"EMA-LPS-20260626-EIR8","price":550.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1849\/1739\/files\/f72ef0f9-d26d-43e7-a21a-24778181867a-_MG_4122.png?v=1782495644","url":"https:\/\/easternmarineaquariums.co.nz\/products\/orange-hammer-coral","provider":"EasternMarine Aquariums","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
