Single Head Splatter Hammer

Splatter Hammer Coral (Single Head)

Transform Your Tank with a Bold, Living Centerpiece

Looking for a showstopper that commands attention... The Splatter Hammer is one of the most visually striking LPS corals available in the reef hobby — and the "Splatter" morph takes it to another level entirely. Irregular bursts of contrasting pigmentation across each flowing tentacle tip make every single head completely unique, no two exactly alike. This is not a coral you find at every shop, and buying a single-head frag means you're getting a focused, manageable piece of something genuinely rare.

Single-head Hammer Corals (Euphyllia ancora) are an ideal size for aquarists who want maximum impact without overwhelming a mixed reef layout — place it with space to sway and it will reward you with steady, healthy growth over time. Hammers have a confident, flowing personality: their long, fleshy tentacles extend dramatically under good flow and retract quickly if disturbed, a satisfying sign of a thriving specimen. They're also one of the few LPS corals known to form symbiotic relationships with clownfish species — a rare dynamic that adds life and movement to your display. For intermediate reef keepers ready to step up their game, this is a deeply rewarding addition.
