Packing and shipping are charged per box, not per coral. The $15 packing fee covers the insulated box, heat or ice packs and the time it takes to pack live coral safely; overnight UPS is the carrier cost of getting it out of Key West alive. A box typically holds around five small frags, so adding compatible corals to the same shipment usually will not add another packing or shipping charge. Larger colonies, species that cannot share water, or extreme weather can require a second box. Orders over $399 ship free.

Florida: $30 overnight livestock shipping. Qualifying Florida livestock orders under 6 lb ship overnight for a flat $30, plus the $15 packing fee. Heavier or mixed shipments use our standard overnight rate, and orders over $399 ship free either way.

Livestock ships to the continental US. Alaska needs a shipping quote before you order, and we cannot ship coral to Hawaii — get in touch first.

Care Guide
Hammer Coral (Euphyllia) is a hardy, popular LPS prized for its anemone-like sweeper tentacles tipped in vivid color. It thrives under low to moderate lighting (PAR 75-150) and gentle, indirect flow — strong direct current will keep its polyps retracted. Feed 2-3x per week with meaty foods (mysis, pellets) for best growth and color, and give it plenty of room since its long sweeper tentacles can sting neighboring corals.

Water Flow: Low
Lighting: Medium
Feeding: Medium

Placement: Middle of the tank with gentle, indirect flow. Give 4-6 inches of clearance — sweeper tentacles can sting neighboring corals.
