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.

Bigger than expected, but my pup enjoys it
Color: Green Bird
This toy has been a great surprise for my dog. The green bird design is cute, but more importantly it’s actually held up really well to her throwing it around and chewing. The material feels sturdy, and the stitching has stayed intact even after lots of chewing, tugging, and carrying it around all day. It's bigger than I expected, but that hasn't deterred my Chihuahua. As a 2-1/2 year old with plenty of energy, she is definitely getting lots of use out of it! What I like most is that it keeps my dog engaged — the squeaker grabs attention right away, and it’s perfect for interactive play like tug-of-war. It’s soft enough to be a comfort toy but durable enough to handle rough play, which is hard to find. Overall, a fun and well-made toy that keeps my pup entertained and has lasted longer than many other dog toys I’ve tried. Definitely a good choice for dogs that love to chew and play hard.

The toys body is very durable, but the squeakers were broken within minutes without tearing it apart
Color: Green Bird
This is a squeaky dog toy that was supposedly very durable. I have to say that the squeakers are not durable and were immediately destroyed by my husky. The actual body of the toy is very durable and they were not able to rip it apart. They were able to destroy the squeakers without damaging the actual exterior of this toy. The toy itself is pretty soft except where it’s made of rope. Since it didn’t have any stuffing come out I will say that it was durable enough for chewing. This would be suitable for large larger dogs and even smaller dogs. I do feel this is a good value for the money because they were not able to rip it apart. I just wish the squeakers were more durable inside because there’s no way to replace those.

Our dogs new favorite toy
Color: Green Bird, Color: Green Bird
Our golden doodle loves this toy. He isn't a highly aggressive chewer necessarily, but he has been known to destroy toys by chewing on them and such. This one, so far, has lasted over a month or so. It has turned out to be his go to toy when he's wanting to play with one. The squeaker isn't that loud and it's not that easy to find. I like that legs are rope material and makes it good for tug of war, which Max loves to do. The material is pretty sturdy and it is a good weight. Sometimes when the toys are too heavy Max won't catch them in the air, this one he catches in the air just fine. It's very cute and I think it will hold up just fine to our Max's level of chewing. I felt the price was quite reasonable considering how much he likes it.
