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 final intensity and watch polyp expansion as it settles into the aquarium.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. Water movement should gently move the polyps without blasting them with strong direct current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Give the coral time to adjust after placement, and avoid frequent moves while it settles.

Temperament

Allow generous spacing from neighboring corals. Hammer corals are semi-aggressive and can extend sweepers with stinging potential, especially when fully expanded.

Feeding

Occasional meaty foods can be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feed gently when polyps are open and avoid overfeeding.

General Care

Maintain stable salinity, alkalinity, temperature, and nutrient levels rather than making rapid adjustments. Observe expansion and tissue condition regularly, and respond gradually if conditions need correction.

Consistent placement and stable conditions support reliable long-term care.
