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. Its placement and flow needs should be considered before adding it to a mixed reef.

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 when moving it into brighter conditions, then observe polyp expansion and response before making further changes.

Flow

Use moderate, indirect, varied flow. Avoid strong direct flow, which can interfere with comfortable polyp expansion and keep the tissue from moving naturally.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with space around the colony. Allow time to acclimate after placement and avoid repeatedly relocating it.

Temperament

Keep generous space between this semi-aggressive coral and nearby corals. Expanded tentacles can sting neighbors, so plan placement around its reach rather than allowing close contact.

Feeding

Occasional meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feeding can be done gently when polyps are expanded.

General Care

Maintain stable salinity, alkalinity, temperature, and nutrient levels rather than making rapid adjustments. Watch its expansion, tissue condition, and response to placement, then make gradual changes only when needed.

Give it stable conditions, indirect flow, and adequate spacing from neighboring corals.
