Clove Polyps (Clavularia spp.) are a type of soft coral known for their unique, bushy polyps that extend in all directions, resembling the cloves of a flower. These corals are typically bright green, though other color variations like yellow or orange are also available. Clove Polyps can quickly colonize and form dense mats, making them a great choice for aquarists looking for a low-maintenance coral that adds movement and color to their tank.
Clove Polyps prefer low to moderate lighting and low to medium water flow. While they are photosynthetic and rely on light for energy, they can also benefit from occasional feedings of small plankton or coral foods, especially in nutrient-poor tanks. Their polyps can extend widely when healthy, giving them a flowing, soft appearance.
This coral is peaceful and can be placed near other non-aggressive species without issue. Due to their ability to spread quickly, it's important to provide enough space for them to grow, as they may overtake nearby rocks or surfaces if not managed.
