Clavularia spp. (Green)

Clavularia spp. (Green), commonly known as Green Clove Polyps, is a soft coral prized for its bright green, star-shaped polyps and graceful movement. Colonies grow as an encrusting mat over rockwork, from which individual polyps extend and sway continuously in the current. Under blue or actinic lighting, the vibrant green coloration can become intensely fluorescent, making this coral a striking addition to reef aquariums.

Care in Aquariums:
• Lighting: Moderate to high
• Flow: Moderate
• Placement: Rockwork with room to spread; can gradually encrust surrounding surfaces
• Feeding: Primarily photosynthetic but may benefit from occasional phytoplankton or fine particulate coral foods
