The Clavularia spp. (Orange Striped) is a medium-sized soft coral known for its striking orange polyps with distinctive striped patterns. This species adds vibrant colour and gentle pulsating movement to reef aquariums, making it a popular choice among marine hobbyists.
Care Level: Moderate care is recommended, suitable for aquarists with some experience in maintaining soft corals.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is ideal, such as T5 fluorescents or LED systems providing a PAR range of approximately 50-100. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is preferred to ensure the polyps can extend fully without being damaged by strong currents.
Placement: Position this coral on rockwork where it can receive moderate light and flow. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions or overgrowth.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic, benefiting from stable water parameters and occasional supplemental feeding of planktonic foods or coral-specific liquid feeds.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing from other corals to avoid chemical warfare and physical contact.
Additional Notes: Maintain stable water parameters with regular testing and water changes. Avoid sudden changes in lighting or flow to reduce stress. This coral can propagate through fragmentation, making it suitable for reef propagation.
