Lavender Clove Polyp
Clavularia sp.
Description:
Clove Polyp, Clavularia sp,also known as Encrusting Polyp, is a hardy coral , that does well in most reef aquariums.
Clove Polyps wave beautifully in the current. It is a great choice for aquarists of all experience levels. Each clove polyp has eight-tentacled
"blooms". Members of the Clavularia species require only a moderate water flow and a moderate amount of lighting, making them ideal for placement
at most any level of the aquarium. They grow and reproduce by budding, when provided with the proper environment.
Placement:
Place polyps along the bottom half of the aquarium on an exposed rock. Make sure that currents will
be able to supply them with necessary nutrients and trace elements. Leave several inches between them and other specimens, as they
will usually expand their colony and can be stung by other corals. Because the polyp tentacles may be stung by nearby corals, specimens
should be kept an adequate distance from other corals. The picture above is a representative of the species, but no two corals are alike.
Diet and Feeding:
Although symbiotic algae called zooxanthellae hosted within them supply most of their nutritional requirements
through photosynthesis they do require supplemental feedings. Supplementing their diet with the addition of trace elements, marine snow, phytoplankton, and food for filter feeders will
help to insure their continued good health.
Approximate Purchase Size:
Small 2" to 3"; Medium 3" to 5"; Large 5" to 7"
