Bring bold color and flowing movement to your reef with the Green Splatter Hammer Coral, a beautiful branching LPS coral featuring vibrant green coloration and distinctive hammer-shaped tentacles.

When fully extended, its fleshy polyps create the flowing movement that makes Hammer Corals such popular centerpieces in mixed reef aquariums. The splattered coloration adds extra contrast and character compared with a traditional Green Hammer.

This listing is for one Small Green Splatter Hammer Coral frag, typically consisting of 1–2 heads.

Placement & Growth

Place the Green Splatter Hammer on stable rockwork with enough room for its fleshy polyps to fully extend.

As a branching Hammer, new heads can develop as the colony grows, eventually creating a larger, fuller display.

Hammer Corals can sting neighboring corals, so provide adequate space between the Hammer and surrounding livestock. Avoid placing delicate corals immediately next to the colony.

Lighting & Water Flow

Provide low to moderate reef lighting with low to moderate water flow, consistent with the source coral's recommended conditions.

Flow should gently move the tentacles without violently whipping them around or pushing the coral's tissue against its skeleton.

Gradual light acclimation is recommended when introducing the coral to a new aquarium.

Feeding & Nutrition

Green Splatter Hammer Coral receives much of its nutritional needs through photosynthesis but can benefit from occasional supplemental feeding.

Small portions of appropriately sized meaty reef foods may be offered periodically.

Maintaining stable calcium, alkalinity, magnesium, and nutrient levels will support healthy skeletal growth and coloration.

Recommended Water Parameters

Temperature: 75–80°F
Specific Gravity: 1.023–1.026
pH: 8.1–8.4
Alkalinity: 8–12 dKH
Calcium: 400–450 ppm
Magnesium: 1250–1400 ppm

Stable water chemistry is particularly important for LPS coral health and growth.
