Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Low to moderate lighting
• Flow: Low to moderate varied flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Peaceful but capable of spreading
• Care Level: Beginner to Moderate

Lighting

Provide low to moderate lighting. Begin with gentler exposure during acclimation, then observe polyp extension and response before making gradual lighting adjustments.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Gentle changing movement helps keep the polyps moving without exposing them to harsh direct flow.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Secure the frag where it can receive suitable light and varied flow, then acclimate gradually to its permanent position.

Temperament

Keep it with appropriate room to expand. Clove polyps are peaceful, but spreading growth can allow them to occupy nearby rockwork and approach neighboring corals over time.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Fine suspended foods may be accepted, but stable reef conditions and appropriate light and flow remain the primary care focus.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes gradually rather than abruptly. Watch for polyp extension, tissue response, and spreading growth after placement, especially when adjusting lighting or flow. Avoid harsh direct flow and allow time for acclimation.

Plan its placement with future spreading growth in mind.
