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 reduced exposure during acclimation, then adjust placement gradually while watching polyp response.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Gentle, changing movement helps the polyps move naturally without exposing them to harsh direct current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Allow a gradual acclimation period and choose a location where flow is indirect and lighting remains within its preferred range.

Temperament

Keep it with peaceful neighbors, but leave room for spreading growth. Clove polyps can expand beyond their original placement, so an isolated area can help manage their footprint.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and avoid abrupt changes during acclimation. Observe polyp extension and overall response after placement, then make gradual adjustments rather than moving it repeatedly or increasing flow too quickly.

Give this clove-polyp soft coral room to spread and settle gradually.
