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 extension and adjust placement gradually if needed.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Gentle movement helps the polyps sway naturally, while harsh direct flow can keep them withdrawn.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Acclimate gradually and secure it where its spreading growth can be monitored and managed.

Temperament

Keep it with peaceful neighbors, but allow room for spreading growth. Clove polyps can expand beyond their original placement, so avoid positioning them where they may overtake nearby corals.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and avoid abrupt changes in lighting, flow, or placement. Watch for consistent polyp extension after acclimation, and adjust only gradually if the coral appears stressed or remains closed.

Give this clove polyp room to spread and avoid harsh direct flow.
