This WYSIWYG colony displays vivid fluorescent green polyps with bright yellow coloration extending along the centers and tips of the elongated tentacles. Each polyp has eight feathery tentacles, a characteristic feature of octocorals, giving the colony its distinctive starburst appearance when fully extended. Clove polyps grow from a connecting mat that can gradually spread across nearby rockwork, creating an attractive field of waving polyps. They contain symbiotic zooxanthellae that provide much of their nutritional requirements through photosynthesis while also capturing very fine suspended organic material.

Provide low to moderate lighting and moderate, indirect water movement that keeps the polyps gently swaying without continuously blasting the colony. Clove polyps can spread across adjacent rockwork, so placement on an isolated rock can help control growth if desired. Maintain stable reef conditions including temperature, salinity, alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, nitrate, and phosphate. Most nutritional requirements are supplied through photosynthesis, although the colony can also utilize dissolved nutrients and very fine suspended foods. Avoid allowing detritus or algae to accumulate around the colony's growing mat.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pacific East Aquaculture, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67630126399721,"sku":"U25 OC0718","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2133\/7655\/files\/yellow-tip-clove-polyps-soft-under-25-pea-F-OC0718.jpg?v=1791403271","url":"https:\/\/pacificeastaquaculture.com\/products\/yellow-tip-clove-polyps-wysiwyg-pea-f-oc0718","provider":"Pacific East Aquaculture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
