This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

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. Allow time for the coral to adjust after placement, and avoid abrupt lighting changes while it settles into the reef.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. The polyps should move gently and expand; avoid strong direct flow that can prevent comfortable extension.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Begin with room around the coral for expansion, then acclimate gradually to its final lighting and flow.

Temperament

Give it generous space from neighboring corals. Hammer corals are semi-aggressive and have stinging potential, especially as their polyps expand and contact nearby specimens.

Feeding

Occasional meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feed gently when polyps are expanded, without blasting the coral with flow.

General Care

Maintain stable salinity, alkalinity, temperature, and nutrient levels rather than making rapid corrections. Watch polyp expansion and tissue condition after any change in placement, lighting, flow, or routine maintenance.

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