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 for healthy polyp expansion as it settles into the aquarium.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. Water movement should keep the polyps moving gently without blasting the coral with strong direct current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Allow time to acclimate after placement, and adjust its position only if expansion or flow response indicates a need.

Temperament

Allow generous space 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. Target feed gently when polyps are receptive, avoiding excessive food or forceful flow.

General Care

Maintain stable salinity, alkalinity, temperature, and nutrient levels rather than making rapid corrections. Observe expansion, coloration, and response to flow regularly, then make gradual changes when conditions need adjustment.

Give it stable conditions, gentle movement, and room to expand safely.
