Overview
The Sunburst Petal Clove Polyps are a rare and fluorescent morph of Clavularia sp. with bright pink and orange tips, forming a field of glowing floral polyps. Under reef lighting, especially blue-spectrum LEDs, they shimmer like a sunlit bouquet swaying in the current.
Perfect for both minimalist aquascapes and high-energy color gardens, this coral adds motion, vibrance, and elegance without the risk of aggression.
Care & Feeding
These polyps are hardy and fast-growing, ideal for both beginners and collectors. While they obtain energy from photosynthesis, their growth and coloration are enhanced by regular dosing of amino acids, iodine, and trace elements.
Be mindful of placement — they spread easily, so isolate on plugs or rock islands if containment is important.
Optimal Parameters
-
Alkalinity (dKH): 8–11
-
Calcium (Ca): 420–460 ppm
-
Magnesium (Mg): 1250–1350 ppm
-
Nitrate (NO₃): 2–10 ppm
-
Phosphate (PO₄): 0.01–0.05 ppm
Placement
Mount on frag plugs or rubble in moderate flow zones, ideally mid to upper tank levels where lighting will enhance their fluorescent tones. Avoid aggressive corals nearby and allow room to spread.
