Add brilliant golden coloration and flowing movement to your reef with this Gold Hammer Garden Coral Colony. Its fleshy, hammer-shaped polyps create a beautiful swaying display, while the garden-style arrangement gives the colony a fuller and more varied appearance than a traditional single-color hammer coral.
This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning you will receive the exact colony shown in the product photos. Egg-crate squares measure approximately ¾ inch for size reference.
Coral Care
Care Level: Beginner to Intermediate
Coral Type: LPS
Lighting: Low to Moderate
Water Flow: Low to Moderate
Placement: Lower to Middle Area
Temperament: Aggressive
Growth Rate: Moderate to Fast
Reef Safe: Yes
Recommended PAR: Approximately 75–150
Place the colony in gentle, indirect flow that allows its polyps to sway without being forcefully blasted. Leave several inches of space between the hammer and surrounding corals because it may extend stinging sweeper tentacles.
Recommended Water Parameters
Temperature: 75–79°F
Salinity: 1.024–1.026 SG
pH: 8.1–8.4
Alkalinity: 8–12 dKH
Calcium: 400–450 ppm
Magnesium: 1,250–1,400 ppm
Nitrate: 2–15 ppm
Phosphate: 0.03–0.10 ppm
Maintaining stable alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, and salinity will support healthy tissue expansion and continued skeletal growth.
Feeding
Gold hammer corals receive most of their energy through photosynthesis but may benefit from occasional target feeding. Offer small portions of mysis shrimp, finely chopped meaty foods, or quality coral food once or twice weekly.
