Its moderate care requirements suit reef keepers prepared to provide stable conditions, appropriate placement, and room for full expansion.

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. Acclimate gradually when moving it into brighter conditions, then observe polyp expansion and response before making further placement changes.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow that moves the polyps without blasting them. Avoid strong direct flow, which can limit comfortable expansion and irritate the coral.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Give the coral time to acclimate, and choose a location where its polyps can expand freely without contacting nearby rockwork or corals.

Temperament

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

Feeding

Offer occasional meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, so prioritize suitable lighting, flow, and stable aquarium conditions rather than relying on frequent target feeding.

General Care

Maintain stable salinity, alkalinity, temperature, and nutrient levels, avoiding rapid adjustments. Watch daily for normal expansion, tissue condition, and flow response, then make changes gradually if the coral appears stressed or remains consistently withdrawn.

Provide space, indirect movement, and stable conditions for dependable long-term care.
