Ultra Fat Head Aussie Double Branching Hammer

Aussie Double Branching Hammer Coral

Transform Your Tank with a True Australian Show Stopper

Looking for a centerpiece coral that turns heads... The Ultra Fat Head Aussie Double Branching Hammer is one of the most sought-after Euphyllia variants in the reef tank hobby — and for good reason. Sourced from Australian waters, this double branching form produces thick, densely packed hammer heads with a lush, inflated appearance that single-branch variants simply can't match. The color palette typically runs through rich greens, golds, and vibrant lime tips that pulse with movement under reef lighting, making it an instant focal point in any saltwater aquarium.

As this specimen settles into your system, each branch will continue to develop new heads through a process called branching — effectively multiplying your investment over time. The long, flowing tentacles sway hypnotically with water movement, giving your reef tank a sense of life and rhythm that few other corals replicate. Hammers are famously interactive and can develop a symbiotic relationship with certain clownfish-family species, adding another dimension of activity to your home aquarium. This is the kind of coral that experienced aquarists save space for.
