Its moderate care requirements suit reef keepers prepared to maintain stable conditions, use thoughtful placement, and provide room for expansion.

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 and acclimate gradually to the final intensity. Watch polyp extension and overall response before making additional lighting adjustments.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow and keep it out of strong direct water movement. Gentle changing current supports expansion without continually pushing the fleshy polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with adequate clearance. Allow time for acclimation before relocating it, unless its response indicates that an adjustment is needed.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive hammer coral ample space from neighboring corals. It can expand beyond its base and has stinging potential, so prevent contact with nearby corals.

Feeding

Offer occasional meaty foods if desired; feeding is optional. Target feed carefully and do not rely on feeding in place of stable overall care.

General Care

Maintain stable salinity, alkalinity, temperature, and nutrient levels instead of making rapid adjustments. Observe polyp expansion, tissue condition, and response to flow and lighting, then make any needed changes gradually.

Provide spacing, steady conditions, and indirect flow for consistent long-term care.
