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 final intensity and watch for normal 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 acclimate after placement, and avoid frequent moves while it adjusts.

Temperament

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

Feeding

Offer occasional meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, and water quality and stable conditions remain the foundation of routine care.

General Care

Maintain stable salinity, alkalinity, temperature, and nutrient levels rather than making rapid corrections. Observe daily for extension, response to flow, and changes after acclimation, then adjust conditions gradually when needed.

Provide gentle movement, stable conditions, and adequate space for long-term placement.
