Clavularia spp. are a genus of soft corals known for their attractive, feathery polyps that sway gently in aquarium currents. This medium-sized variant is well-suited for marine reef tanks and offers a dynamic visual appeal with its vibrant colours and movement.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain healthy growth and vibrant colours. LED or T5 lighting systems that provide a balanced spectrum work well.
Water Flow: Provide gentle to moderate water flow to ensure the polyps can extend fully without being damaged by strong currents.
Placement: Position Clavularia spp. on rockwork with enough space to prevent overgrowth onto neighbouring corals. They can spread moderately, so allow adequate spacing to maintain reef harmony.
Care Level: Suitable for hobbyists with some experience in soft coral husbandry. They are relatively hardy but benefit from stable water parameters.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing from other corals to avoid aggression. Compatible with most peaceful reef inhabitants.
Feeding: Primarily photosynthetic but will benefit from occasional supplemental feeding of planktonic foods or coral-specific liquid feeds.
Overall, Clavularia spp. provide an excellent addition to medium to large reef tanks, adding natural movement and texture to your marine display.
