The Gilded Tempest Hammer Coral is a visual paradoxluxurious and fierce. With molten gold tentacles capped by cool, smoky grey tips, this Euphyllia ancora variety glows with understated drama. Under reef lighting, the soft grey tips give a metallic sheen while the golden body pulses like fire caught underwater.
Sourced from the dynamic reef zones of the Indo-Pacific, this coral is ideal for aquarists looking to balance motion with richness. Its fleshy, hammer-shaped tentacles create rhythmic movement, while the unique coloration adds contrast without overwhelming the eyeperfect for both minimalist and lush reefscapes.
Like all Euphyllia, the Gilded Tempest does best in stable systems with moderate lighting and indirect flow that allows its fleshy polyps to move freely. It is photosynthetic but will respond positively to occasional target feedingstry microplankton, reef roids, or finely chopped meaty foods 12 times weekly to boost growth and tentacle extension.

Place the Gilded Tempest Hammer in the bottom to mid-level of your tank where it receives indirect flow and moderate lighting.
