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 light level. Watch for normal expansion as the coral settles, adjusting placement carefully rather than making abrupt lighting changes.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow that keeps the coral gently moving. Avoid strong direct flow, which can prevent comfortable expansion and may cause the coral to remain withdrawn.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Begin with open room around the coral for expansion, then allow time for adjustment before making additional placement changes.

Temperament

Allow generous spacing from nearby corals. Hammer corals are semi-aggressive, can expand beyond their base, and have stinging potential that may affect close neighbors.

Feeding

Occasional meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Keep feedings measured and observe the coral’s response over time.

General Care

Maintain stable salinity, alkalinity, temperature, and nutrient levels rather than making rapid adjustments. Regularly observe expansion, placement, and neighboring corals, especially after changes to lighting, flow, feeding, or routine aquarium maintenance.

Provide stable conditions, indirect flow, and room for expansion.
