Toxic Splatter Branching Hammer

Toxic Splatter Branching Hammer

Toxic Splatter Branching Hammer carries a genuinely vivid, neon-green colour across its bulbous polyp heads, with a striking glow under blue lighting that still holds up well under plain white light too — the listing photos were taken under both, so you can see it either way before deciding. As the branching base fills out, the heads pack closer together, building into an increasingly full, waving colony over time.

Hammers are a great beginner LPS — hardy, fast-growing given the right conditions, and forgiving of minor mistakes. One important note: hammers should never be placed next to torch corals, as both carry a strong sting and will aggressively fight for territory if too close together.

Care basics

• Lighting: Low, but tolerates a wide range.
• Flow: Low, indirect. Avoid blasting it with direct heavy flow, which can damage the coral.
• Water chemistry: Stable calcium, alkalinity and magnesium matter more than chasing exact numbers.
• Feeding: Not required, but it will take larger meaty foods or powdered foods like Reef-Roids if offered.
• Placement: Keep well away from torch corals and other long-tentacled Euphyllia species.
