Gold Hammer Coral (Euphyllia Ancora)
The Ultra Gold Hammer Coral is one of the most sought-after LPS corals in the reef aquarium hobby, admired for its striking metallic gold coloration and flowing hammer-shaped tentacles. Under blue reef lighting, the vibrant gold fluorescence creates a stunning visual effect, making this coral a true showpiece in any marine aquarium.
