Green w/Purple Tips Ancora Hammer
Ancora Hammers are a great beginner coral with long, flowing, iridescent green polyps resembling a hammer that make them very desirable to just about any level of hobbyist. These corals need low light intensity, and low to moderate water flow, and can even survive in higher-than-average nutrient levels. They can live in situations with higher lighting, but be sure to avoid excessive flow. Feeding them a marine-based, meaty diet a couple times a week is essential in any tank situation, and is most important in situations with lower lighting. Supplemental feeding and regular water changes will turn these into major colonies in a short period of time. Provide enough space between this coral and its neighbors because their sweeper tentacles come out at night and can sting other corals.
