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. Acclimate gradually to its final light level and watch for consistent, healthy expansion rather than making abrupt lighting changes.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. Water movement should encourage gentle polyp motion without blasting the tissue or preventing full expansion.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Give the coral time to adjust after placement, then evaluate its response before moving it again.

Temperament

Allow generous space from neighboring corals. Hammer corals are semi-aggressive, can expand beyond their base, and have stinging potential when they contact nearby corals.

Feeding

Occasional meaty feeding is optional. If offered, feed carefully and avoid relying on feeding as a substitute for stable overall conditions.

General Care

Maintain stable salinity, alkalinity, temperature, and nutrient levels instead of chasing rapid adjustments. Observe polyp expansion and tissue condition regularly, and make changes gradually when its placement, flow, or lighting needs attention.

Give it room, stable conditions, and gentle indirect movement to settle in.
