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 adjust placement gradually if needed.
Flow
Use low to moderate varied flow. Indirect, changing current helps the polyps move naturally while avoiding harsh direct flow.
Placement
Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Acclimate gradually and give the colony room to establish without being exposed to abrupt changes.
Temperament
Keep it with peaceful neighbors, but plan for spreading growth. Leave space around the colony and monitor nearby rockwork so it does not expand into corals you want to keep separate.
Feeding
Feeding is usually optional, though fine suspended foods may be accepted. Maintain appropriate flow during feeding so food can pass through the polyps.
General Care
Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes slowly. Watch polyp extension, placement response, and spreading growth, especially after introducing it or changing lighting and flow. Avoid abrupt acclimation shifts and harsh direct current.
Give this clove polyp room to spread and adjust conditions gradually.
