    Hammer Coral Placement

    I recently bought a hammer coral. About 2-3 inches in diameter. It's attached to live rock already at the stem. Wondering what the best placement for it would be.

    Lighting is a Coralife Lunar Aqualight T5 (about 4.5 wpg).
    Salinity is at 1.024.
    Ca @ 440
    NH3/NO2/NO3 at 0
    20 lb live rock
    20 lb aragonite sand
    10 lb live sand
    29 gallon tank
    1 MaxiJet 1200 (current is plenty right now)

    Thx

    Bottom. On the substrate, at least to start with.

    Looks good!

    As long as it's not getting blasted by full force flow and all your other parameters are good, it should do well there. Keep in mind that they are very sensitive to blunt force trauma, so don't let anything fall on it!
