Thors HAmmer Acan Coral

Thors HAmmer Acan Coral - Care Requirements

Thors HAmmer Acan Coral is a Euphyllia hammer coral with fleshy polyps. This WYSIWYG LPS coral is suited to reef keepers prepared to provide moderate care, stable 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 and acclimate it gradually to its final intensity. Observe polyp expansion and response after placement rather than making sudden lighting changes.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow that gently moves the polyps. Avoid strong direct flow, which can prevent comfortable expansion and cause ongoing stress.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with adequate open space. Allow time to acclimate after introduction, and adjust placement only if its response indicates a need.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive coral generous spacing from neighbors. Its extended polyps need room to expand, and it has stinging potential that can damage nearby corals.

Feeding

Occasional meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feeding can be done gently when polyps are expanded, without blasting food across the coral.

General Care

Maintain stable salinity, alkalinity, temperature, and nutrient levels rather than chasing rapid adjustments. Regularly observe polyp expansion, tissue condition, flow response, and nearby coral spacing to identify issues early.

Stable care, indirect flow, and proper spacing support long-term placement.
