Pachyclavularia violacea (White tip) | XL

Pachyclavularia violacea (White Tip) is a captivating soft coral known for its delicate white-tipped polyps and vibrant violet base. This extra large specimen offers a stunning focal point for reef tanks, providing gentle swaying movement and a splash of colour.

Lighting: Moderate lighting is ideal, such as LED or T5 setups, to maintain healthy growth without causing bleaching. Avoid intense direct light.

Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow helps keep the polyps clean and encourages natural movement without damaging the coral’s delicate structure.

Placement: Position this coral on rockwork where it has room to expand and grow. Ensure adequate spacing from aggressive corals to prevent stinging or overgrowth.

Care Level: Suitable for intermediate aquarists. Pachyclavularia violacea is relatively hardy but benefits from stable water parameters and regular monitoring.

Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing. Avoid placing near highly aggressive corals or those with strong sweeper tentacles.

Regular water changes and maintaining stable salinity, temperature, and nutrient levels will support optimal health. Feeding is generally not required as this coral derives nutrition from photosynthesis and dissolved organics, but occasional supplementation with coral foods can promote growth.
