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 polyp expansion as it settles into the aquarium.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. Gentle movement around the polyps is preferred; avoid strong direct flow that can prevent comfortable expansion.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Allow time to acclimate after placement, and choose a location where its expanding polyps have open space.

Temperament

Give it generous spacing from neighboring corals. Hammer corals are semi-aggressive and have stinging potential, especially when expanded or placed too close to other corals.

Feeding

Offer occasional meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, and any food should be delivered carefully without forcing excessive flow onto the polyps.

General Care

Maintain stable salinity, alkalinity, temperature, and nutrient levels rather than making rapid adjustments. Observe polyp expansion and overall response after changes to lighting, flow, placement, or routine maintenance.

Allow space, steady conditions, and indirect flow for consistent polyp expansion.
