Thors Hammer Acan Coral

Thors Hammer Acan Coral - Care Requirements

Thors Hammer Acan Coral is a Euphyllia hammer coral with fleshy, expanding polyps. This WYSIWYG Euphyllia LPS coral is suited to reef keepers prepared to provide moderate care, steady conditions, and room for its polyps to expand without contacting nearby corals.

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. Introduce it gradually to its final intensity and watch polyp expansion as it settles into the aquarium.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. Water movement should gently shift the polyps without blasting them with a strong direct stream.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with open space around it. Allow time to acclimate after placement before making further changes.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral generous spacing from neighbors. Expanded polyps can sting nearby corals, so avoid allowing contact, especially after lights-out expansion.

Feeding

Occasional meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Keep portions modest and observe the coral’s response.

General Care

Maintain stable salinity, alkalinity, temperature, and nutrient levels rather than making rapid adjustments. Check expansion regularly, keep flow indirect, and respond slowly if the coral appears stressed or remains withdrawn.

Stable conditions and thoughtful spacing support consistent hammer coral expansion.
