ARC Firework Clove Polyps are a clove-polyp soft coral with a beginner-to-moderate care profile. This WYSIWYG clove polyp soft coral is suited to reef tanks, including nano reefs, when given gentle acclimation and room to spread. Its care needs center on moderate, stable conditions rather than intense light or forceful circulation.

This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

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. Begin in gentler light and acclimate gradually before moving it higher only if the coral responds well.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Gentle movement helps avoid harsh direct flow that can keep the polyps from remaining comfortably extended.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Give the frag time to adjust after introduction, and avoid abrupt changes in lighting, flow, or placement.

Temperament

This coral is generally peaceful, but it can spread across nearby rockwork. Leave room around its placement and plan its location with neighboring corals in mind.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional, though it can accept fine suspended foods. Maintain appropriate reef feeding practices and avoid treating target feeding as a requirement.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe polyp extension after acclimation. Avoid sudden environmental changes and harsh direct flow. Regularly check its surrounding rockwork, since spreading growth may gradually bring it closer to other corals.

A practical soft coral choice for a thoughtfully planned reef placement.
