With vibrant purple polyps and glowing blue tips, this coral creates a beautiful display as its hammer-shaped tentacles gently sway in the current.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"403\" data-end=\"692\"\u003eHammer Corals are a favourite among reef keepers because they offer that perfect mix of colour, movement, and structure. They make an excellent centrepiece coral in a mixed reef and are suitable for both newer marine hobbyists and experienced reef keepers, provided the aquarium is stable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"694\" data-end=\"1007\"\u003eThis coral thrives under moderate lighting, with a PAR range of around 75–150 being ideal. Too much light can cause stress or bleaching, while too little light may result in duller colour and reduced extension. Moderate, indirect flow is best, allowing the polyps to move naturally without being blasted directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1009\" data-end=\"1233\"\u003ePlacement should be in the middle to upper areas of the aquarium on a stable rock structure. Hammer Corals are semi-aggressive and can sting neighbouring corals, so make sure to leave enough space around them as they expand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1235\" data-end=\"1495\"\u003ePurple Hammer Corals gain most of their energy through their symbiotic zooxanthellae, but they can also benefit from occasional target feeding with suitable meaty coral foods. This can help support growth, especially for smaller frags or newly added specimens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1497\" data-end=\"1547\"\u003eFor best results, maintain stable reef parameters:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1549\" data-end=\"1855\"\u003eCare Level: Easy to Moderate\u003cbr data-start=\"1577\" data-end=\"1580\"\u003eCoral Type: LPS Coral\u003cbr data-start=\"1601\" data-end=\"1604\"\u003eLighting: Moderate, 75–150 PAR\u003cbr data-start=\"1634\" data-end=\"1637\"\u003eFlow: Moderate, indirect\u003cbr data-start=\"1661\" data-end=\"1664\"\u003ePlacement: Middle to upper aquarium\u003cbr data-start=\"1699\" data-end=\"1702\"\u003eTemperament: Semi-aggressive\u003cbr data-start=\"1730\" data-end=\"1733\"\u003eSalinity: 1.024–1.026 SG\u003cbr data-start=\"1757\" data-end=\"1760\"\u003eTemperature: 24–26°C\u003cbr data-start=\"1780\" data-end=\"1783\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eAlkalinity: 8–10 dKH\u003cbr data-start=\"1803\" data-end=\"1806\"\u003eCalcium: 400–450 ppm\u003cbr data-start=\"1826\" data-end=\"1829\"\u003eMagnesium: 1250–1350 ppm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1857\" data-end=\"2147\"\u003eWith its rich purple colour, glowing tips, and graceful movement, the Purple Hammer Coral is a standout addition to a healthy reef tank.
