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. Introduce it gradually to the intended light level and watch polyp extension during acclimation.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied flow. Gentle changing movement helps the polyps move naturally while avoiding harsh direct flow.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Give the frag time to adjust before moving it, and avoid abrupt changes in light or current.

Temperament

Keep it spaced from corals you do not want it to overtake. Clove polyps are peaceful, but their spreading growth can gradually claim nearby rockwork.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional, though fine suspended foods may be accepted. Maintain good water quality and avoid relying on target feeding as a requirement.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes gradually. Observe polyp extension, position, and surrounding rockwork over time, especially as the colony begins to spread. Avoid harsh direct flow and sudden acclimation changes.

Plan its rockwork placement with spreading growth in mind.
