Its care centers on moderate lighting, indirect varied flow, stable conditions, and room from nearby corals.

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 its expansion as it settles into the aquarium.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. Avoid strong direct flow, which can prevent comfortable expansion and irritate the coral’s fleshy tissue.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Give the coral time to acclimate after placement, and adjust only if its expansion suggests the location is unsuitable.

Temperament

Allow generous spacing from neighboring corals. This semi-aggressive hammer coral can expand beyond its base and has stinging potential, so keep it clear of corals within reach.

Feeding

Occasional meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feeding can be done gently without blasting the coral with flow.

General Care

Maintain stable salinity, alkalinity, temperature, and nutrient levels rather than making rapid adjustments. Observe expansion and overall response regularly, then make gradual placement or flow changes only when needed.

Give it stable conditions, indirect movement, and adequate space to expand.
