The **Hammer Coral** is a striking and easily identifiable large polyp stony (LPS) coral. Its name comes from its hammer-shaped polyps. These corals are available in a variety of vibrant colors.
Known for their aggressive nature, **Hammer Corals** extend their tentacles at night to sting nearby corals and even fish. It's crucial to provide ample space between them and other corals.
**Hammer Corals** are relatively easy to maintain. They should be placed from the bottom to the middle of the tank, avoiding intense lighting. They thrive under moderate light and water flow. If the coral appears retracted, try repositioning it for better polyp extension.
These corals primarily obtain nutrition through photosynthesis and the water column. To supplement their diet, consider adding micro-plankton or baby brine shrimp in the evening. Adding trace elements can also enhance their growth.
