Natural Habitat & Distribution
Hammer corals (Euphyllia ancora / Euphyllia paraancora) are found throughout the Indo-Pacific, including:
-
Indonesia
-
Australia (Great Barrier Reef)
-
Fiji and Tonga
-
The Philippines
They naturally inhabit sheltered reef slopes and lagoon environments, where lighting is moderate and water movement is gentle to moderate.
A Brief History
Hammer corals have long been a cornerstone of the reef hobby thanks to their movement, resilience, and distinctive form. As LED lighting technology advanced, highly marbled and multi-colour morphs gained popularity for their depth, contrast, and fluorescence.
Tri-colour marbled variants, combining toxic greens with rich purples, are especially sought after for their rarity and ability to stand out even in densely stocked reefs.
