Gold Indo Branching Hammer

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.
