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. Start in gentler light and acclimate gradually, watching polyp extension as the coral adjusts to its position.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Gentle changing movement helps the polyps sway naturally, while harsh direct flow should be avoided.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Secure the frag where it can receive indirect flow, then allow time to adjust before moving it.

Temperament

Keep it with peaceful neighbors and leave room for spreading growth. Clove polyps are generally peaceful, but the colony can expand onto nearby rockwork over time.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Fine suspended foods may be accepted, though stable reef conditions remain the main priority for routine care.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes gradually. Avoid abrupt shifts in lighting, flow, or placement, and observe polyp extension after acclimation. Periodically check surrounding rockwork so spreading growth stays within the area you intend.

A practical soft coral choice for lower-to-middle reef placement.
