Bright metallic golden lashes adorn this adorable little soft coral. This clove polyp variety doesn't tend to get as large a the other morphs we have in the farm, but that's a part of their appeal. They tend to grow a bit faster and more compact as well. Great choice for low maintanence nano aquariums that are looking to add movement and color in an area that needs to be filled quickly!
Clove polyp corals should be given a dedicated area to grow or their own little rock, as they encrust onto the rock they grow on. Their polyps are taller than most soft corals and may shade over them when grown too close.

Care Level
Great for all experiences
Growth Rate
A great grower. Increased growth with feeding such as Benepets.

Can be be kept in lower to medium lighting.
Currently kept under Kessil A360X units. Mounting height 24" above water line. 12:00PM - 10:00PM at 70% blue intensity.
Flow Strength
Prefers low flow when first purchased. Too strong of a flow may cause it to deattach from the plug. Once established and it starts to grow onto your rocks, you may give it slightly higher flow. But take care not to give it excessively strong flow, as it's still a soft coral and can be damaged.
Currently kept with Maxspect Gyre 350s Pumps.
