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 and allow time for adjustment after introduction. Observe polyp expansion and response as the coral settles, rather than making abrupt lighting changes.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow that gently moves the polyps without blasting them. Avoid strong direct flow, which can interfere with comfortable expansion.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas and acclimate it gradually to its final light and flow. Leave adequate room around the coral for full expansion.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral generous spacing from neighboring corals. Extended tentacles can sting nearby specimens, especially when the hammer is fully expanded, so avoid placing it within reach of sensitive neighbors.

Feeding

Occasional meaty foods can be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feed gently when practical, and avoid creating excess waste around the coral.

General Care

Maintain stable salinity, alkalinity, temperature, and nutrient levels instead of chasing rapid adjustments. Check expansion regularly and respond gradually if its appearance changes. Consistent placement, suitable flow, and stable water conditions support dependable long-term care.

Allow space, keep conditions steady, and avoid direct flow.
