This is a true yellow-and-green Holy Grail Hammer Coral, with distinctly yellow tips and contrasting green stems. Gold-tipped, green-stem hammers are sometimes marketed as Holy Grails, but a true Holy Grail should have yellow—not merely gold—tips.

Lucky Corals has grown this strain in our own aquaculture system since 2019. Even after years of actively searching for and comparing exceptional specimens, it remains the truest and most intensely yellow Holy Grail Hammer we have found.

We do not heavily oversaturate our product photos, so its yellow coloration may appear less exaggerated than in some online images. Our photographs are intended to provide a realistic representation of the coral you will receive.

Provide gentle, indirect water movement that allows the tentacles to sway without being forcefully pushed to one side.

Leave space between the hammer and neighboring corals because its extended tentacles can sting nearby animals. Occasional feeding may support growth but is not required.
