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 gradually rather than making sudden lighting changes.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied flow. Gentle changing movement helps avoid harsh direct flow that can keep the polyps from opening normally.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Allow time to acclimate after placement, and move it gradually if its chosen position needs adjustment.

Temperament

Keep it with peaceful neighbors, while allowing room for spreading growth. Clove polyps can expand beyond their original placement, so plan nearby coral spacing and future maintenance accordingly.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional, though fine suspended foods may be accepted. Stable reef conditions remain more important than routine target feeding.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and watch for normal polyp extension after acclimation. Avoid abrupt changes in lighting, flow, or placement, and prevent harsh direct current. Regular observation helps identify when a gradual adjustment is needed.

Give this spreading soft coral room to establish its preferred place.
