CREAM BRANCHING HAMMER
Parancora (Branching Hammer Coral) Frag Care Guide
• Lighting: Moderate (PAR 80–150). Avoid sudden exposure to high-intensity light.
• Flow: Moderate, gentle flow to allow tentacle movement without excessive stress.
• Placement: Mid to lower tank levels, with space to prevent stinging nearby corals.
Water Parameters
• Temperature: 75–80°F
• Salinity: 1.024–1.026
• Alkalinity: 8–12 dKH
• Nitrates: 1–10 ppm
• Phosphates: 0.01–0.05 ppm
Feeding
• Photosynthetic but benefits from occasional feeding (mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, or powdered coral food).
Maintenance
• Dip frags before introducing them to the tank. Avoid excessive flow that may damage the tentacles.
Pests
• Watch for brown jelly disease and ensure algae does not overgrow the skeleton.
Quick Tip
Parancora (Branching Hammer) corals are hardy but require stable water conditions, moderate flow, and space for their tentacles to expand safely.
