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 acclimate gradually to the final intensity. Watch expansion and overall response after placement, making changes slowly if needed.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow that keeps the tentacles moving gently. Position the coral away from forceful water streams that can prevent comfortable expansion.

Placement

Place this coral in lower to middle reef areas with open space around it. Acclimate carefully after introduction and allow room for full daytime expansion.

Temperament

Allow generous spacing from nearby corals because this semi-aggressive hammer coral can extend tentacles and sting neighbors. Keep it positioned where expanded tissue is unlikely to make contact.

Feeding

Offer occasional meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional; provide food gently and avoid excessive disturbance while the coral is expanded.

General Care

Maintain stable salinity, alkalinity, temperature, and nutrient levels instead of making rapid corrections. Regularly observe expansion, tentacle movement, placement, and spacing, then make gradual adjustments if its response indicates a need.

Moderate light, gentle indirect flow, and spacing support consistent care.
