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 the intended intensity and watch its expansion and overall response before making further placement 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 it a secure position with enough surrounding room for full expansion, then allow time to settle.

Temperament

Allow generous spacing from neighboring corals. Hammer corals are semi-aggressive and can sting nearby specimens, especially after expansion or when their reach changes with water movement.

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional meaty foods may be offered. Target feeding should be gentle and should not interrupt normal polyp expansion.

General Care

Maintain stable salinity, alkalinity, temperature, and nutrient levels rather than chasing rapid adjustments. Observe expansion, tissue condition, and response to flow routinely, making gradual changes when needed. This coral has a moderate care level.

Provide stable conditions, indirect flow, and adequate spacing for dependable long-term care.
