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 response before making gradual light adjustments.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Gentle movement helps keep the polyps moving without exposing them to harsh direct flow.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Allow time to acclimate in its chosen location and avoid abrupt changes in light or flow.

Temperament

Keep it with peaceful neighbors and leave room for spreading growth. Clove polyps are peaceful, but their expansion can eventually occupy nearby rockwork or available space.

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 make changes gradually. Watch polyp extension and overall response after placement, especially when adjusting lighting or flow. Avoid harsh direct flow and sudden acclimation changes to support consistent care.

Plan placement with future spreading space in mind.
