Clove polyp care?

Ron S. · 07-29-2008, 09:25 PM

I picked up some nice clove polyps this weekend and would like input on their care. What kind of flow, lighting, feeding, ect.

Thanks Ron.

Hey Ron!

Nice addition. I have not kept those polyps before, but my first guess based on Anthelia, and other octocorals that I have kept, is that they grow almost anywhere! My xenia really like steady flow, and it grew in really HIGH light, and low light as well. Where do you have it now?

Thank you for the welcome. I have them on the sand bed, med flow, med light. They seem happy where the are but I have only had them for a couple of days. I had some in the past that failed and would like to keep these alive. They are on a rock by them self so spreading shouldn't be a issue.

Thanks Ron
