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 with a gentler position during acclimation, then observe its response before making gradual adjustments.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Gentle, changing movement is preferred over harsh direct flow, which can prevent the polyps from extending comfortably.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Acclimate gradually and choose a location where its spreading growth can be monitored and managed over time.

Temperament

Keep it with peaceful neighbors and leave space for expansion. Clove polyps are generally peaceful, but they can spread onto nearby rockwork and occupy available surface area.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Fine suspended foods may be accepted, but stable reef conditions remain the primary focus for routine care.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and avoid abrupt changes during acclimation. Watch for normal polyp extension and adjust placement gradually if needed. Avoid harsh direct flow, and periodically check surrounding rockwork as the colony spreads.

Give this soft coral stable conditions and room to spread.
