WHY SHOULD I BUY THIS CORAL?
The Rainbow Hologram Hammer Coral is an ultra-vibrant hammer coral variety celebrated for its intense, multi-layered coloration that appears to shift under different lighting angles—often displaying electric greens, golds, oranges, blues, and pink highlights simultaneously. Its thick, fleshy hammer-shaped tips exhibit strong fluorescence and a shimmering “hologram” effect under blue spectrum lighting. Combined with classic Euphyllia movement, this coral delivers exceptional visual impact and premium appeal.


CARE LEVEL
Easy–Moderate
Suitable for established reef systems with stable and well-maintained parameters.


WATER REQUIREMENTS & GENERAL CARE

• Temperature: 24–27 °C
• Salinity: 1.024–1.026 (32–35 ppt)
• pH: 8.1–8.4
• Alkalinity: 8–10 dKH
• Calcium: 400–450 ppm
• Magnesium: 1250–1350 ppm
Stable water chemistry is essential for maintaining colour intensity, tissue thickness, and consistent polyp extension.


LIGHTING
• Moderate
• PAR Range: 80–150 PAR

Moderate lighting enhances the holographic colour effect and promotes full polyp extension. Gradual acclimation is recommended when introducing to brighter systems.


PLACEMENT
• Bottom / Lower rockwork

Place on stable rockwork or the sandbed with the skeleton fully supported. Allow ample spacing to accommodate expansion and nighttime sweeper tentacles.


FLOW
• Low–Moderate

Provide gentle, indirect flow that allows the hammer polyps to sway naturally without being forced to retract or whip.


FEEDING
• Photosynthetic: Benefit from feeding
Recommended feeding schedule:
• 1–2 times per week
Accepted foods:
• Finely chopped mysis or brine shrimp
• LPS pellets
• Reef roids or fine powdered coral foods
• Liquid coral foods or amino acids

Supplemental feeding supports stronger growth, thicker tissue, and enhanced colour vibrancy.


COMPATIBILITY & BEHAVIOUR
• Temperament: Semi aggressive
• May extend sweeper tentacles, especially at night
• Requires spacing from neighbouring corals
• Can coexist with other Euphyllia / Fimbriaphylla species if adequate room is provided


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
• Family: Euphylliidae
• Origin: Indo-Pacific
• Natural Habitat: Lagoonal reefs and sheltered reef slopes
• Typical Depth Range: 5–25 m

✔ Intense multi-colour “hologram” effect with strong fluorescence
