Cladiella spp. (O2 Halversoni) is a soft leather coral prized for its attractive, finger-like polyps and ease of care in marine reef aquariums. This tiny variant is perfect for hobbyists looking to add natural movement and texture to their reef display.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is recommended, such as LED or T5 fixtures providing a PAR range suitable for soft corals. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal to keep the polyps gently swaying without causing tissue damage.
Placement: Position the coral on rockwork with sufficient space around it to prevent aggression or overgrowth of neighbouring corals. It thrives well in mid to lower areas of the tank.
Care Level: Suitable for intermediate hobbyists. Maintain stable water parameters with regular monitoring of salinity, temperature, and nutrient levels.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefits from occasional feeding of fine particulate foods such as phytoplankton or coral-specific liquid supplements.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing from other corals to avoid chemical warfare or physical damage.
Regular water changes and maintaining optimal water quality will support healthy growth and vibrant coloration.
