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 the intended intensity, then observe expansion and adjust placement only when the coral shows a consistent need.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, and varied flow. Water movement should gently shift the tentacles without blasting the coral with a strong, direct stream.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Begin with a stable location and allow time for acclimation before making repeated changes to light or flow.

Temperament

Allow generous spacing from neighboring corals. Hammer corals are semi-aggressive, can expand beyond their base, and have stinging potential that may affect nearby specimens.

Feeding

Offer occasional meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, so prioritize suitable lighting, flow, and stable conditions rather than relying on frequent target feeding.

General Care

Maintain stable salinity, alkalinity, temperature, and nutrient levels. Avoid chasing rapid adjustments, and watch for normal expansion, tissue condition, and response to its location as the coral settles in.

Give it space, steady conditions, and time to settle into placement.
