Ideal Tank Conditions for Wall Hammer Coral

Wall Hammer Coral requires stable water parameters to thrive. Maintaining ideal water conditions, such as appropriate temperature, salinity, pH, and alkalinity, is crucial for the coral’s health. Keeping nitrate and phosphate levels low is also important to prevent algae buildup. For comprehensive guidance on tank conditions and maintaining water quality, visit our Coral Colonies section.

Best Placement in the Aquarium

Wall Hammer Coral should be placed in an area with moderate to low light intensity. It requires stable, yet not excessive, water flow to keep it healthy. Placing this coral on a stable surface like live rock or a substrate with enough space to grow is essential. Keep it at least a few inches away from other corals or aggressive tank mates to prevent stinging. For guidance on the ideal placement of your Wall Hammer Coral, explore our Hammer Corals section.

Water Flow & Circulation

Wall Hammer Corals prefer moderate water flow to avoid damage to their tissue from strong currents. Gentle movement helps bring in nutrients while keeping debris from accumulating around the coral. Ensuring balanced circulation will promote the health and growth of your Wall Hammer Coral. To learn more about proper water flow and circulation setups, check out our Coral Frags section.

Feeding Requirements for Wall Hammer Coral

While Wall Hammer Coral derives most of its nutrition from photosynthesis, supplemental feeding can enhance its growth and vibrancy. Providing coral foods like plankton or specialized food designed for LPS corals can help maintain its health. Feed your Wall Hammer Coral once every few days to provide it with the additional nutrients it needs. For coral food options, visit our Coral Frags section.

Best Tank Mates for Wall Hammer Coral
