Indo Hammer Coral Colony (6+ Heads)

Transform Your Tank with a Statement-Making LPS Centerpiece

Looking for a showstopping reef tank anchor... The Indo Hammer Coral is one of the most visually commanding large polyp stony corals available to the serious aquarist. With 6 or more heads sweeping in unison, this colony delivers an undulating, almost hypnotic presence that single frags simply cannot replicate. Sourced directly from Indonesia, this piece carries the rich coloration and polyp density that collectors recognize immediately.

A colony of this size is a significant milestone — it represents years of natural growth and arrives ready to dominate a mid-to-lower reef placement in your saltwater aquarium. Hammer corals are famously interactive; their long, flowing tentacles extend dramatically during feeding and respond visibly to current and light, giving your marine aquarium a sense of life that few other LPS corals can match. As the colony matures and continues to bud, you'll watch it evolve into an ever-expanding wall of movement and color.
