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 response before making gradual placement or lighting adjustments.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Gentle changing movement helps avoid harsh direct flow while keeping the polyps from receiving a constant blast.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Acclimate gradually and leave open surrounding rockwork so spreading growth can be managed over time.

Temperament

Keep it with peaceful neighbors and plan for expansion. Although generally peaceful, clove polyps can spread across nearby rockwork and may crowd corals placed too close.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional, though fine suspended foods may be accepted. Maintain normal reef nutrition and avoid overfeeding.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes gradually. Watch polyp extension after placement, lighting adjustments, or flow changes, and avoid abrupt acclimation shifts or persistent harsh direct flow. Regular observation helps guide long-term placement.

Allow space for growth and adjust conditions gradually as it settles in.
