Cornularia Clove Polyps have long stems, quite a bit longer the the similar species Cornularia and wave beautifully in the currents. They will grow and reproduce by budding, when provided with the proper environment. Not as common as the clavularia sp, so it generally costs a bit more, but very nice additon to any tank. The Cornularia Clove Polyps are also commonly referred to as Eight Tentacle Polyps, or Encrusting Polyps. They are colonial animals with several individual polyps attached to a single piece of live rock and are often stung and damaged by other aggressive corals. Therefore, they need adequate space between themselves and other corals. They are not difficult to maintain and require moderate lighting combined with moderate water movement. They require the addition of iodine and other trace elements to the water. They will grow rapidly in the established reef aquarium by encrusting over adjacent rock work or even other corals. The symbiotic algae zooxanthellae hosted within their bodies is responsible for providing the majority of their nutritional requirements via the algae's light drive process of photosynthesis. They also benefit from weekly feedings of micro-plankton or foods designed for filter feeding invertebrates. Approximate Purchase Size: Small: 2" to 3"; Medium: 3" to 5"; Large: 5" to 7"
