Honey Hard Coral (Euphyllia sp.)

(Also known as Honey Coral, Honey Hammer Coral, or Honey Anchor Coral)

Overview

The Honey Hard Coral (Euphyllia sp.) is a striking and graceful large-polyp stony (LPS) coral, admired for its warm golden-yellow to amber tentacles tipped with lighter or white ends. Closely related to other Euphyllia species such as hammer and frogspawn corals, the Honey Coral displays the same elegant, flowing polyp movement that adds life and motion to reef aquariums. Its rich honey-toned colouring makes it a stunning focal coral, especially under blue lighting where its soft fluorescence glows beautifully. Hardy yet sensitive to changes, it thrives best under stable conditions with moderate lighting and gentle flow.

Origin

Native to the Indo-Pacific region, including the Coral Sea, Great Barrier Reef, Fiji, Tonga, and Indonesia. Found in protected reef slopes and lagoons, often inhabiting areas of low to moderate current and diffused sunlight.

Feeding

The Honey Coral is photosynthetic, deriving most of its energy from zooxanthellae within its tissue. However, regular feeding supports faster growth and richer coloration. Offer 1–2 feedings per week with:

  • Mysis shrimp or enriched brine shrimp
  • LPS-targeted coral foods
  • Finely chopped marine meat or coral pellets

Target feeding when the polyps are fully extended (usually in the evening) yields the best results.

Lighting

Moderate lighting. Provide strong but indirect illumination using LED, T5, or hybrid lighting systems.

  • PAR range: 100–200 ¬µmol/m¬≤/s
  • Avoid harsh, direct lighting which can cause tissue recession or bleaching.
  • Under blue or actinic lighting, the coral’s golden hues take on a radiant, metallic glow.
Water Flow

Low to moderate, indirect flow. The Honey Coral prefers gentle, swaying movement that allows the tentacles to extend fully. Avoid direct or turbulent flow that can tear delicate tissue or prevent expansion.

Placement
  • Place on lower to mid rockwork or the substrate, depending on light levels.
  • Ensure at least 10–15 cm (4–6 inches) of space around the coral, as Euphyllia species extend long sweeper tentacles at night that can sting nearby corals.
  • Avoid sharp rocks or unstable structures that may damage the coral when expanded.
Tank Mates

Reef safe with caution. Compatible with:

  • Peaceful reef fish (clownfish, gobies, tangs, wrasses, etc.)
  • Snails, hermit crabs, shrimp, and other invertebrates
  • Other Euphyllia species of the same group (Hammer, Frogspawn, Torch) with space provided

Avoid:

  • Aggressive corals (e.g., Galaxea, Hydnophora) or any with long sweeper tentacles nearby
  • Butterflyfish, puffers, or large angelfish that may nip polyps
Aggression

Moderately aggressive.Euphyllia corals can extend sweeper tentacles several inches at night to defend their territory. Provide adequate spacing from neighbours and maintain gentle, steady flow to disperse any chemical aggression.

Experience Level

Intermediate. The Honey Hard Coral is hardy once settled but requires stable parameters and careful placement. It’s a reliable, rewarding choice for aquarists familiar with LPS care and looking to add warm colour and motion to their reef display.

Water Parameters
  • Temperature: 24–27°C (75–81°F)
  • pH: 8.1–8.4
  • Salinity: 1.024–1.026 SG
  • Alkalinity (dKH): 8–12
  • Calcium: 400–450 ppm
  • Magnesium: 1250–1350 ppm
  • Nitrate: <10 ppm
  • Phosphate: <0.03 ppm
  • Tank Size: Minimum 100 litres (25 gallons) for small colonies; larger tanks recommended for growth

Stable alkalinity and calcium levels are crucial for skeletal development and maintaining vibrant colouration.

Reef Compatibility

Reef safe with caution. The Honey Hard Coral is a stunning, glowing addition to LPS and mixed reef tanks. Its soft golden hue, fluid motion, and branching form create a natural focal point in the aquarium. When given space, gentle flow, and consistent care, it will thrive and add both visual warmth and dynamic movement to the reefscape.




Interesting Fact

Many aquarists report that Euphyllia colonies with honey or gold coloration appear to change tone under different light spectrums — from deep amber under white light to bright neon gold under actinic blue — making it one of the most photogenic LPS corals available.

Sturdy bouncy fun!
Color: D) 4-Pack 3" Balls (Yellow), Color: D) 4-Pack 3" Balls (Yellow)
Great product. My big 70lb Sheppard puppy loves it, hasn’t stopped playing with it since it arrived. She throws it about and chases it, had a good chew on it and even put it in her favorite toys bin. Sturdy, firm and very bouncy. And there are 3 more in the bag for an awesome price. Bright color will make it easy to find and holes thru it will prevent choking and I can string it on a line for training play.

Color: C) 2-Pack 2.5" Balls (Yellow)
Great quality balls for tough chewers. I love them, but wish the orange ones were available more...I've been checking cuz they are easier to find in the yard than the green that blends in. Our dogs love them and I like the weight for throwing.

Great quality and folding it in half is a plus. Fits under a seat in car/truck.
Purchased another, as we need one in each car. This is a great ball thrower, especially as it folds in a half. Makes it easy to store under a car/truck seat. Haven’t had any problem with it, great quality!

Fantastic throwing aid!
Very well made, great quality and doesn't feel cheap at all. It's thick, not flimsy or fragile so you can really swing it to launch a ball. Saves my body that I don't have to bend over to pick up the ball anymore, and saves my shoulder that I don't have to hurl the ball anymore. Another bonus is you don't have to touch a slobbered, soggy ball, or a ball covered in dirt. The foldable design is fantastic because I walk everywhere with my dog and don't want to carry around a long stick that's awkward to hold. This folds down small enough that I can securely put it in the back pocket of my jeans without worrying about it falling out. The thing I love most about it is there's a elastic loop at the end so when you fold it you can latch it securely. This small detail is outstanding because I can also hang it on the strap of my sling bag and with the loop secured it will not slip off the strap. This product is so well made and thought out overall.

Excellent toy for play
My dog would play all day if I threw the ball to him. He loves this even though he's 12. The scooped end allows you to pick up the ball without touching it. After a few runs it's covered in dog slobber. So that's a major plus for me! Also, some health issues affect my walking and bending at times. This helps with the bending. This is a great game to play with your favorite friend!
