But they are also unforgivingly beautiful and expect precision and experience.  What is so attractive about the SPS coral is its opportunity to be very colourful and grow quite rapidly under proper conditions.

  One of the most beautiful corals for reef aquariums is the hammer coral. The Canadian Hobbyist will love the medium-light polyps and moderate care of this LPS coral in their reef setup. Water parameters are the single most important aspect of keeping hammer coral here in Canada . These corals are adapted to somewhat non-variable environments and moderate light conditions with a mild to moderate water active movement. They depend on photosynthesis and supplemental feeding, so high-quality marine foods such as phytoplankton or amino acid supplements can boost their growth and coloration. Another important consideration is the placement of hammer coral in a reef tank. It should be placed somewhere where it has plenty of room to spread out without coming into contact with other corals since it has long, flowing tentacles. This avoids aggressive, stinging interactions that might damage neighboring species. In Canada, buying hammer coral is no different; it's important to buy from ethi...
