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 allow time for the coral to adjust. Observe polyp expansion as it settles, rather than making rapid changes to light intensity.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow that gently moves the polyps. Avoid strong direct flow, which can interfere with comfortable expansion.

Placement

Place this hammer in lower to middle reef areas with room around it. Acclimate gradually and choose a stable spot before making further adjustments.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral ample spacing from nearby corals. Its tentacles can sting neighbors, especially as the coral expands and reaches beyond its base.

Feeding

Occasional meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feed gently when polyps are expanded and avoid overfeeding the aquarium.

General Care

Maintain stable salinity, alkalinity, temperature, and nutrient levels instead of chasing rapid adjustments. Monitor expansion, tissue condition, and neighboring corals regularly, then correct issues gradually while keeping flow and lighting consistent.

Allow space, stable conditions, and gentle movement for reliable hammer coral care.
