Introduce a dynamic splash of emerald green to your marine aquarium with the captivating Green Clove Polyp. This easy-to-care-for soft coral offers stunning visual appeal and graceful movement.

Overview

Green Clove Polyps (*Clavularia spp.*) are colonial soft corals featuring delicate, feathery polyps that extend from a mat-like base, creating a beautiful swaying carpet in your reef. Each polyp typically has eight pinnate tentacles, giving them a distinct, flower-like appearance. When fully open, their vibrant green coloration provides a striking contrast, adding both texture and active beauty to your aquascape. They are known for their ability to spread and colonize rockwork, creating lush patches of color.

Care Level

These resilient soft corals are considered easy to care for, making them an excellent choice for both novice and experienced reef keepers. They exhibit a peaceful temperament, generally coexisting well with most reef-safe fish and other corals, though their fast-growing nature requires consideration for spacing.

Tank Essentials

A minimum tank size of 38 litres (10 gallons) is recommended for Green Clove Polyps. Maintain stable water conditions with a pH between 8.1 and 8.4, and a temperature range of 24-27°C (75-80°F). Moderate to strong water flow helps keep their bases clean and encourages polyp extension.

Diet

Green Clove Polyps are primarily photosynthetic, deriving most of their energy from aquarium lighting. However, they will greatly benefit from supplemental feedings of planktonic foods, such as phytoplankton or fine powdered coral foods, one to two times per week.
