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. Start the coral in gentler exposure during acclimation, then observe its expansion and adjust placement gradually if needed.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Allow time to acclimate after introduction, and choose a position where the coral can expand without contacting nearby corals.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive hammer coral ample spacing. It can expand and has stinging potential, so keep neighboring corals beyond reach and monitor its sweepers as it settles.

Feeding

Occasional meaty foods can be offered but are optional. Feed carefully when the coral is receptive, and avoid overfeeding the aquarium.

General Care

Maintain stable salinity, alkalinity, temperature, and nutrient levels rather than making rapid corrections. Watch for consistent expansion, respond gradually to changes, and keep its tissue clear of direct flow and coral contact.

Provide stable conditions and room to expand for dependable long-term care.
