Cultured Gold Tip Wall Hammers are an easy coral that has great movement and tan/gold tips. Their long, flowing polyps make them very desirable to all hobbyists. These polyps resemble a hammer, which is how they got their common name. The name "wall" refers to how the skeleton grows, either a wall formation or branching formation, which is why each are categorized as different species. The polyps are present during the day and hide during the night, so do not be alarmed that they are not out when the lights are off. Its needs include moderate light and medium flow. They can live in situations with higher lighting, but avoid too much flow. Feeding them a marine based, meaty diet a couple times a week is essential in all tanks and is most important in lower lighting. Supplemental feeding and regular water changes will turn these into major colonies in a short period of time. Provide enough space between this coral and its neighbors because their sweeper tentacles come out at night.

- Provide an aquarium placement with moderate flow and lighting
- Provide supplemental additions of calcium and other trace elements
- For continued health, supplement with small meaty foods when lights are off
- Prefers well established aquariums
- Cannot tolerate copper medications
- Reef safe

ACCLIMATION: Allow the sealed bag with your new fish to float in your aquarium for at least 15 minutes (but no longer than one hour) to ensure the water in the bag matches the temperature in your aquarium. For new aquariums, adding new fish slowly helps to properly develop the nitrogen cycle, which creates a safe environment for your aquatic pets. A bacteria booster may also help develop a new aquarium for your new fish. Petco offers free water testing in store to determine if your water is safe. DIET: A well-balanced diet consists of a variety of flakes, pellets, freeze-dried, and frozen food, depending on the species. FEEDING: Feed sparingly and no more than fish can eat in 1-2 minutes. Overfeeding can quickly foul the water, especially in smaller, unfiltered aquariums.
