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. Introduce it gradually to its intended light level and watch for normal polyp expansion as it settles into the aquarium.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. Gentle changing movement helps keep the polyps moving without blasting the coral with strong direct current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Allow room around the coral as it expands, and acclimate it gradually when moving into its final position.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral generous spacing from neighboring corals. Hammer corals can extend sweepers and sting nearby specimens, especially after expansion or as conditions change.

Feeding

Offer occasional meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, but target feeding can be done carefully when polyps are expanded.

General Care

Maintain stable salinity, alkalinity, temperature, and nutrient levels rather than making rapid corrections. Observe polyp expansion, tissue condition, and nearby corals regularly, then make gradual adjustments if flow, light, or placement appears unsuitable.

Provide stable conditions and space for expansion to support long-term placement.
