{"product_id":"rose-gold-hammer-coral","title":"Rose Gold Hammer Coral","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Rose Gold Hammer Coral, Euphyllia glabrescens, is a captivating LPS coral highly prized by reef keepers for its dramatic appearance and fluid movement. Its long, flowing tentacles with hammer-shaped tips create an active display in the reef aquarium, making it a focal point for many aquarists. This gold variant brings a beautiful, warm tone to any setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis specimen measures approximately 12cm across. Rose Gold Hammer Corals typically grow in a branching formation, with each branch terminating in a colony of polyps. When happy, the polyps extend fully, showcasing their iconic hammer tips. The entire colony exhibits a stunning gold colour, which shines under reef lighting, creating an elegant visual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCaring for a Rose Gold Hammer Coral involves providing moderate PAR lighting, ideally between 75-150 PAR, to encourage good colour and health. Moderate, indirect water flow is best to allow the polyps to extend fully without being constantly battered. Placement on a mid-level rockwork ledge is generally suitable. While these corals primarily gain nutrition from photosynthesis, they will readily accept meaty foods like mysis shrimp or brine shrimp when target fed. Stable water parameters are crucial: maintain Calcium between 400-440 ppm, Alkalinity between 8-10 dKH, and Magnesium between 1300-1400 ppm. Hammer corals can be aggressive due to their sweeper tentacles, so ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent stinging. Acclimation should be slow, allowing the coral to adjust to your tank's specific conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis coral makes an excellent centrepiece or accent piece in a mixed reef, especially when paired with contrasting colours or textures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a WYSIWYG item, so you'll receive the exact specimen pictured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that colours can look slightly different in person than in photos, depending on your lighting and screen, and the size given is an approximate guide measured at the time of listing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eastern Marine Aquariums","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50224966205495,"sku":"EMA-LPS-20260924-NH38","price":300.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1849\/1739\/files\/e636d126-36a8-4bef-ae42-ed0c54565413-_MG_5002.png?v=1790283862","url":"https:\/\/easternmarineaquariums.co.nz\/products\/rose-gold-hammer-coral","provider":"EasternMarine Aquariums","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
