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. Acclimate gradually when introducing it to brighter conditions, then observe its expansion and adjust placement only as needed.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. Water movement should gently move the tentacles without blasting the coral with a strong direct stream.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Allow room around the coral for full expansion, and make placement changes gradually after acclimation.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral generous spacing from neighboring corals. Expanded tentacles have stinging potential, so avoid placing it where it can contact nearby specimens.

Feeding

Offer occasional meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, and any food should be delivered carefully without creating excessive disturbance or waste.

General Care

Maintain stable salinity, alkalinity, temperature, and nutrient levels rather than making rapid corrections. Monitor expansion, response to flow, and nearby coral spacing regularly, especially after introduction or changes to lighting and placement.

Steady conditions and thoughtful spacing support long-term hammer coral care.
