Malay Fat Head Hammer Colony

Transform Your Tank with a Showstopping Euphyllia Centerpiece

Looking for a rare colony-grade hammer coral... The Malay Fat Head Hammer is one of the most sought-after Euphyllia variants in the reef-keeping hobby, prized for its oversized, balloon-like heads that dwarf those of standard hammer morphs. Sourced from Malaysian waters, this colony brings an unmistakable visual weight and movement to any saltwater aquarium — the kind of piece that commands immediate attention the moment it inflates.

As a multi-head colony, this specimen is already an established, mature growth that skips the long wait of growing from a frag. Euphyllia ancora sways hypnotically with even gentle water movement, giving your reef tank a living, breathing quality that no frag wall can replicate. It's a rewarding long-term resident that, with consistent water quality, will continue to divide and expand into an even more impressive display over time.
