Overview

The Euphyllia “Neon Venom” Ancora Coral, a unique variety of the Hammer Coral, is a jaw-dropping addition to any reef aquarium. With its radiant neon green-tipped tentacles contrasting against a soft, muted base, it exudes a captivating glow that adds an electrifying presence to your aquatic display.

Hailing from the Indo-Pacific’s tranquil reef slopes and lagoons, this coral thrives in moderate lighting and gentle to moderate water flow, allowing its dynamic, anchor-shaped tentacles to sway gracefully.

Care & Feeding

This photosynthetic species relies on symbiotic zooxanthellae for energy but flourishes with supplemental feedings of meaty foods, such as mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, or plankton. Regular feedings help accentuate its vibrant colors and promote optimal growth.

Keeping the water parameters stable is crucial for the Neon Venoms health. Balanced levels of calcium, magnesium, and alkalinity ensure strong skeletal structure, while low nitrate and phosphate levels maintain its vibrant glow and prevent algae buildup.

Optimal Parameters

• Alkalinity (dKH): 8-12
• Calcium (Ca): 400-450 ppm
• Magnesium (Mg): 1250-1350 ppm
• Nitrate (NO3): 1-10 ppm
• Phosphate (PO4): 0.01-0.05 ppm

Placement

Position the Neon Venom Ancora Coral in the bottom to middle zones of your reef tank. Its semi-aggressive temperament requires adequate spacing from neighboring corals to prevent stinging, ensuring a harmonious reef environment.
