Cladiella spp. (O2 Halversoni) is a small soft leather coral prized for its fleshy, finger-like polyps that gently sway in moderate water currents. This species is suitable for marine reef aquariums and adds natural movement and texture to your coral collection.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain healthy growth without stressing the coral. LED or T5 lighting systems that provide a balanced spectrum work well.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal to keep the polyps gently moving without causing tissue damage. Avoid strong direct currents.
Placement: Position this coral in a mid-level area of the aquarium where it has space to expand. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression or stinging.
Care Level: Suitable for aquarists with some experience in soft coral husbandry. Regular water quality monitoring and stable parameters will promote optimal health.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic, deriving nutrition from symbiotic zooxanthellae. Occasional supplemental feeding with fine particulate foods such as phytoplankton or coral-specific liquid foods can be beneficial.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing to avoid contact with more aggressive corals.
Additional Notes: Origin and maximum size are not precisely documented for this species. Conservative husbandry practices are advised. Regular observation for signs of stress or pests is recommended.
