The "Hammer Head Coral," also known as the "Hammer Coral" or "Euphyllia ancora," is a popular species of large-polyp stony coral (LPS) found in the Indo-Pacific region. Here are some key characteristics and care requirements for the Hammer Head Coral

Lighting and Placement:

Moderate to high lighting is ideal for Hammer Head Corals, although they can adapt to a wide range of lighting intensities.
Place them in the lower to middle section of the aquarium, where they can receive moderate water flow and sufficient light without being exposed to direct, intense lighting.
Water Flow:

Moderate water flow is recommended to prevent debris from settling on the coral's surface while still providing adequate nutrient exchange and waste removal.
Positioning the coral where it can benefit from indirect water flow is ideal.
