ARC Firework Clove Polyps Coral is a clove-polyp soft coral for reef aquariums. This WYSIWYG clove polyp coral suits reef keepers looking for a soft coral with beginner-to-moderate care needs. Its care profile favors gentle conditions, deliberate placement, and room to spread over time.

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. Start with lower exposure during acclimation, then observe polyp extension and adjust gradually rather than making abrupt lighting changes.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Gentle movement helps keep the polyps active, while harsh direct flow can prevent extension and should be avoided.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Allow time to acclimate after introduction, and choose a location where its spreading growth can be managed.

Temperament

Keep it with peaceful neighbors, but leave surrounding space for spreading growth. Although clove polyps are generally peaceful, they can expand onto nearby rockwork and compete for available surfaces.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes gradually. Watch for consistent polyp extension after acclimation, avoid harsh direct flow, and periodically check surrounding rockwork so spreading growth does not encroach on corals you want to keep separate.

Give it stable conditions and space to spread at its own pace.
