This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Moderate lighting
• Flow: Moderate, indirect and varied flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Semi-aggressive
• Care Level: Moderate

Lighting

Provide moderate lighting and acclimate gradually to the final intensity. Watch for consistent polyp expansion as the coral settles into its chosen location.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow that allows the polyps to move gently. Avoid strong direct flow, which can limit expansion and irritate the coral.

Placement

Place this coral in lower to middle reef areas. Allow time for acclimation after placement, and adjust gradually only if expansion suggests a calmer or more suitable position is needed.

Temperament

Leave generous space around it. Hammer corals are semi-aggressive and may sting neighboring corals, particularly as their polyps expand and reach beyond the skeleton.

Feeding

Feeding is optional, though occasional meaty foods can be offered. Feed gently, and reduce flow briefly if needed so food can settle on the polyps.

General Care

Maintain stable salinity, alkalinity, temperature, and nutrient levels rather than making rapid corrections. Observe expansion regularly, keep direct flow off the polyps, and make gradual changes based on its response over time.

Stable conditions, indirect flow, and spacing support long-term hammer coral care.
