Genus
Common name: Hammer Coral
Scientific name: Euphyllia
Euphyllia is a genus of large-polyped stony corals commonly found in reef aquariums. Species within this genus, such as the Hammer Coral (Euphyllia ancora), Frogspawn Coral (Euphyllia divisa), and Torch Coral (Euphyllia glabrescens), are prized for their vibrant colors and dynamic tentacle movement. They form symbiotic relationships with zooxanthellae, which aid in their nutrition. Euphyllia corals require moderate lighting and water flow, and they should be placed with care to avoid contact with other corals due to their aggressive nature and long sweeper tentacles.
