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 and acclimate gradually to its final intensity. Watch for normal tissue expansion as it settles, making changes slowly rather than moving it repeatedly.
Flow
Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. Gentle changing movement supports expansion, while strong direct flow can prevent tissue from opening properly and should be avoided.
Placement
Place it in lower to middle reef areas with room to expand. Allow time to acclimate after placement, then adjust gradually only if its expansion indicates a calmer or differently lit position is needed.
Temperament
Provide generous spacing from neighboring corals because this semi-aggressive hammer coral can sting nearby specimens. Its tentacles extend during expansion, so leave more room than its compact resting appearance may suggest.
Feeding
Feeding is optional, though occasional meaty foods may be offered when tentacles are receptive. Avoid forcing food or making abrupt changes to its feeding routine.
General Care
Maintain stable salinity, alkalinity, temperature, and nutrient levels rather than chasing rapid adjustments. Observe expansion and tissue condition regularly, make changes gradually, and keep surrounding corals clear while it settles into the reef.
Consistent conditions, indirect flow, and thoughtful spacing support long-term hammer coral care.
