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 intensity and observe expansion as it settles into the aquarium.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. Avoid strong direct flow, which can keep the coral from expanding comfortably.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Give the coral time to acclimate after placement, and adjust only if its expansion suggests the location is unsuitable.

Temperament

Allow generous spacing from neighboring corals. Hammer corals are semi-aggressive, can expand beyond their base, and have stinging potential that may affect nearby corals.

Feeding

Occasional meaty feeding is optional. If offered, feed lightly and observe the coral’s response rather than relying on frequent target feeding.

General Care

Keep salinity, alkalinity, temperature, and nutrient levels stable. Avoid chasing rapid adjustments, maintain consistent conditions, and monitor expansion and tissue condition as the coral acclimates to its place in the reef.

Plan its space carefully and maintain steady conditions for consistent expansion.
