Gold Indo Branching Hammer

Transform Your Tank with Liquid Gold in Motion

Looking for a showstopper with serious collector appeal? The Gold Indo Branching Hammer (Euphyllia parancora) is one of the most sought-after LPS corals in the hobby — and for good reason. Its sweeping, hammer-shaped tentacles glow in rich metallic gold tones that intensify under reef lighting, creating a mesmerizing shimmer that few corals can match. Sourced from Indonesian waters and selected for exceptional coloration, this is not a coral you'll find at every shop.

The branching growth form means this specimen will encrust and divide over time, rewarding patient aquarists with a colony that multiplies in value and beauty. Its long, flowing tentacles pulse gently with water movement, adding organic rhythm to any saltwater aquarium. Hammer corals also have real personality — they'll extend fully in a healthy reef tank and retract quickly when disturbed, giving you instant feedback on your water quality.

This is a WYSIWYG coral listing. The coral shown in the product photos is the exact frag or colony that ships to you — no stock photos and no substitutions.

Eligible coral orders ship Monday through Thursday via FedEx Priority Overnight. Orders placed by 2 PM EST may ship same day when weather and availability allow.

Coral orders over $399 qualify for free shipping. Fish orders over $599 qualify for free shipping. Free same-day Miami pickup is available at 46 NW 36th St and is usually ready in 1–2 hours.

Eligible coral orders are covered by our Live Arrival Guarantee. Photograph the coral in its sealed bag before you open anything, then email that photo with your order number within two hours of delivery. Our team reviews every claim and gets you an answer within one business day.

For best results, acclimate slowly and place new corals in lower light and flow before moving them to their final position. Coral response can vary depending on tank stability, lighting, flow, and water parameters.

We photograph corals with reef-specific lighting, close-up detail, and adjusted white balance so you can evaluate color, shape, and polyp extension clearly. For WYSIWYG listings, the photographed coral is the exact coral that ships.
