-
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 during acclimation, then observe polyp extension and adjust placement gradually if needed.
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. Acclimate gradually and secure the frag where its spreading growth can be monitored and managed.
Temperament
This coral is peaceful, but it can spread across nearby surfaces. Leave room around the frag and plan its location so expanding polyps do not overtake neighboring corals.
Feeding
Feeding is usually optional, though it can accept fine suspended foods. If feeding, use a light approach and avoid creating excess waste.
General Care
Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes gradually. Watch for consistent polyp extension, avoid abrupt shifts in light or flow, and keep direct flow from becoming harsh. Regular observation helps you adjust its placement as it settles and spreads.
Give this clove polyp room to settle and spread responsibly.
