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 its intended intensity and watch for consistent expansion as it settles into the reef.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. Water movement should keep the coral gently moving without blasting its fleshy polyps with direct current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Give it time to acclimate, then adjust placement only if its expansion and response suggest a change is needed.

Temperament

Allow generous spacing from nearby corals. This semi-aggressive hammer coral expands and can sting neighbors, so avoid placing it where contact is likely.

Feeding

Occasional meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feed gently when desired and avoid forcing food onto the polyps.

General Care

Maintain stable salinity, alkalinity, temperature, and nutrient levels rather than making rapid adjustments. Observe expansion, tissue condition, and nearby coral spacing regularly, especially after placement changes or maintenance.

Plan its location carefully and leave room for comfortable expansion.
