Its care needs are moderate and consistent.

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 its expansion and overall response before making further changes.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. Water movement should gently move the polyps without blasting the coral with a strong direct stream.

Placement

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

Temperament

Allow generous space from nearby corals. This semi-aggressive hammer coral expands and can sting neighboring corals, so keep its reach in mind when planning placement.

Feeding

Occasional meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feed gently when the polyps are extended and avoid excessive food.

General Care

Maintain stable salinity, alkalinity, temperature, and nutrient levels rather than chasing rapid adjustments. Watch polyp expansion, tissue condition, and responses to light or flow changes, making gradual corrections when needed.

Give it stable conditions, indirect movement, and room to expand safely.
