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 the intended intensity and watch its expansion as it settles into the aquarium.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. Avoid strong direct flow, which can prevent comfortable expansion and continually push the tissue in one direction.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start in a suitable lower or middle position while it acclimates, then adjust only if observation indicates a need.

Temperament

Allow generous spacing from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive hammer coral can expand beyond its base and has stinging potential, so avoid placing it where contact is likely.

Feeding

Offer occasional meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, and uneaten food should not be allowed to accumulate around the coral.

General Care

Maintain stable salinity, alkalinity, temperature, and nutrient levels rather than making rapid corrections. Observe expansion, tissue condition, and nearby spacing regularly, then make gradual adjustments when needed.

Give it stable conditions, indirect flow, and space to expand.
