Aquacultured Green w/Purple Tips Ancora Hammer (Euphyllia ancora)
Description
Please note that the product information displayed is provided by manufacturers, suppliers and other third parties and is not independently verified by Petco.
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.
- - Provide an aquarium placement with lower flow and lighting
- - Provide supplemental additions of calcium and other trace elements
- - For continued health, supplement with small meaty foods when lights are off
- - Cannot tolerate copper medications
- - Prefers well-established aquariums
- - Reef safe

ACCLIMATION: Avoid exposing new aquatic life to bright lights after opening the box. Turn off aquarium lights prior to floating aquatic life. Allow the sealed bag with your new fish to float in your aquarium for at least 15 minutes (but no longer than one hour) to ensure the water in the bag matches the temperature in your aquarium. A bacteria booster addition can assist with the addition of new aquatic life. Petco offers free water testing in store to determine if your water is safe for the addition of new aquatic life. DIET: A well-balanced diet consists of a variety of flakes, pellets, freeze-dried and frozen foods, depending on the species. FEEDING: Feed sparingly and no more than fish can eat in 1-2 minutes. Overfeeding can quickly foul the water, especially in smaller aquariums.
