Hologram Hammer Euphyllia Coral - Care Requirements

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. Acclimate gradually to its intended light level 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 the coral with a strong direct stream.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Give the coral time to adjust after placement, and choose a position where its expanding polyps have open space.

Temperament

Allow generous spacing from neighboring corals. Hammer corals are semi-aggressive and can sting nearby corals, especially after their polyps expand or sway in the current.

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional meaty foods can be offered. Feed gently and avoid directing food or flow forcefully onto the polyps.

General Care

Maintain stable salinity, alkalinity, temperature, and nutrient levels rather than making rapid adjustments. Observe expansion, response to flow, and nearby coral spacing regularly, then make gradual changes when needed.

Provide steady conditions, indirect flow, and ample space for comfortable expansion.
