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. Give the coral time to adjust to its position and watch its expansion as you assess whether the chosen area is suitable.

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 the lower to middle areas of the reef. Choose a stable location with room for polyp expansion and avoid frequent repositioning.

Temperament

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

Feeding

Offer occasional meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, so focus first on appropriate placement, lighting, flow, and stable aquarium conditions.

General Care

Maintain stable salinity, alkalinity, temperature, and nutrient levels rather than making rapid adjustments. Observe polyp expansion and overall response after changes to lighting, flow, placement, or routine maintenance.

Give it space, steady conditions, and gentle varied movement for best care.
