Overview
The Golden Bloom Clove Polyps are a striking variation of Clavularia sp., featuring brilliant yellow-tipped polyps that open like tiny flowers in the current. Under reef lighting, the glowing tips create a soft, luminous effect that adds color and motion to your tank.
Fast-growing and ideal for adding texture and coverage, these clove polyps form waving mats that bring your aquascape to life — especially in mixed gardens or minimalist layouts.
Care & Feeding
This coral is an excellent choice for beginners and seasoned reefers alike. It thrives in moderate light and flow, and while photosynthetic, it benefits from occasional dosing of amino acids and trace elements to support vibrant polyp extension.
They grow quickly when happy, so be mindful of placement to prevent overrunning slower corals.
