It is moderately difficult to maintain, but with proper water conditions in the aquarium, it will thrive. It will require moderate lighting combined with moderate water movement within the aquarium. At night, its sweeper tentacles can extend up to six inches in the reef aquarium, allow plenty of room between it and other neighboring corals. For continued good health, it will also require the addition of calcium, magnesium, strontium, Iodine and other trace elements to the water. The LiveAquaria Hammer Coral will benefit from additional food fed weekly in the form of micro-plankton or brine shrimp.

LiveAquaria® Aquacultured Coral frags are mounted to a fired ceramic plug that can be affixed to live rock anywhere in the aquarium with gel super glue or epoxy.
