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 gentler exposure during acclimation, then observe polyp extension and adjust placement gradually if needed.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Water movement should keep the polyps moving without subjecting the colony to harsh, direct flow.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Give the coral time to adjust after introduction, and make any lighting or flow changes gradually.

Temperament

This coral is peaceful, but it is capable of spreading. Leave room around the colony and monitor nearby corals so spreading growth does not encroach on their space.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Clove polyps can accept fine suspended foods, which may be offered as part of normal reef feeding.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and watch for polyp extension after placement or adjustments. Avoid abrupt acclimation changes, harsh direct flow, and rapid shifts in lighting while the coral settles into its location.

Allow space for spreading and make changes slowly as the colony establishes.
