Its care needs are moderate and centered on measured placement and consistent husbandry.

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. Acclimate gradually to its final intensity and watch polyp expansion as it adjusts to the aquarium.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. Avoid strong direct flow, which can keep the fleshy polyps from expanding comfortably.

Placement

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

Temperament

Keep generous space around this semi-aggressive coral. Hammer corals can sting nearby corals, especially after expansion, so avoid placing close neighbors within reach.

Feeding

Occasional meaty feeding is optional. If offered, feed gently and observe the coral’s response rather than making feeding a required routine.

General Care

Maintain stable salinity, alkalinity, temperature, and nutrient levels. Consistency is more important than rapid adjustments; observe expansion, tissue condition, and response to light and flow before changing its placement.

Give it stable conditions, indirect movement, and room to expand.
