Cladiella spp. (O1 Colt) Extra Large is a soft leather coral prized for its robust growth and attractive, finger-like lobes. This species is well-suited to marine reef aquariums where moderate lighting and water flow can be maintained.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to support healthy photosynthesis without causing bleaching. LED or T5 lighting systems with a PAR range of approximately 50-100 µmol/m²/s are ideal.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow helps keep the coral clean and promotes polyp extension without causing tissue damage.
Placement: Position the coral on a stable rock or substrate area with enough space to allow for expansion and to prevent contact with neighbouring corals, as Cladiella spp. can exhibit aggressive tendencies through chemical warfare.
Care Level: Suitable for aquarists with some experience in soft coral husbandry. Regular water quality monitoring and stable parameters are essential.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing from other corals to avoid chemical aggression. Compatible with most peaceful reef inhabitants.
Feeding: Primarily photosynthetic but will benefit from occasional supplementation with planktonic foods or coral-specific liquid feeds.
Additional Notes: This extra large specimen offers a dramatic focal point in mature reef tanks. Maintain stable water parameters and avoid sudden changes in lighting or flow to ensure optimal health.
