Vietnamese Orange/Pink Hammer (WYSIWYG)

Vietnamese Orange / Pink Hammer (Euphyllia ancora / paraancora)

Lighting: Moderate (100–200 PAR)
Flow: Moderate, indirect (gentle sway preferred)
Placement: Mid-level rockwork with adequate spacing
Temperament: Semi-aggressive; may extend sweeper tentacles
Difficulty: Easy–Intermediate

Striking hammer coral featuring warm orange to pink body tones with soft cream to yellow tips. Thick, fleshy polyps create smooth, flowing movement under proper flow, making this variety a vibrant focal point in LPS-dominant and mixed reef systems.

Provide stable alkalinity (8–9 dKH), moderate nutrients, and indirect flow for optimal expansion and coloration. Allow spacing from neighboring corals to prevent stinging interactions.
