📜 Backstory

A World Wide Corals line listed directly on their site as 'Splatter Branching Hammer Coral' (around $89) as part of their dedicated hammer collection. The splatter morphs come from WWC's aquacultured and imported Euphyllia stock; 'splatter' is a pattern grading name also used by other vendors.

Keeper tips for this variant

Keep under moderate light with indirect flow; position where the patterned tentacles stay extended and visible from the front glass. Leave space for the stinging sweeper tentacles.
