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 the intended intensity and watch for healthy expansion as it settles into the reef.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Give the specimen time to acclimate, then adjust placement only if expansion and overall response suggest it is needed.

Temperament

Allow generous space from neighboring corals. Hammer corals are semi-aggressive, can expand beyond their base, and have stinging potential that can damage corals placed too close.

Feeding

Occasional meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feed gently when polyps are receptive and avoid excessive food accumulation.

General Care

Maintain stable salinity, alkalinity, temperature, and nutrient levels rather than making rapid corrections. Observe expansion, tissue condition, and response to flow and light regularly, making gradual changes when needed.

Give it stable conditions, indirect movement, and room from nearby corals.
