-
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 gradually if needed.
Flow
Use low to moderate varied flow. Gentle, changing movement helps keep the polyps clear without exposing them to harsh direct flow.
Placement
Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Allow time to acclimate and choose a location where its spreading growth can be managed.
Temperament
Keep it with peaceful neighbors and leave room for it to spread. While it is generally peaceful, clove polyps can gradually occupy nearby rockwork.
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 make changes gradually. Avoid abrupt shifts in lighting, flow, or placement, and watch for consistent polyp extension as it settles into the aquarium. Plan ahead for spreading growth rather than placing it where coverage could become unwanted.
Give it room to spread and adjust conditions slowly during acclimation.
