Today’s coral spotlight video is about Clove Polyps of the Genus Clavularia. Clove polyps can be a versatile addition to a number of different tanks. They could work in smaller aquariums looking for a coral to provide motion that is not particularly aggressive to neighbors nor will outgrow the tank in a month. On the other end of the spectrum, you could use the blue clove variety of this coral that runs rampant to create a beautiful blue background for your other corals. I could see this coral working for either beginners or experts in the hobby depending on what they are looking to accomplish. Can you come up with other ways that clove polyps can be used in a reef tank? Post your thoughts below.

The coral I’ll be covering today are Pipe Organ Corals of the Genus Tubipora. They are not that uncommon but at the same time not a lot of people have them in their reef tanks. I find that a little weird because they are some of the most beautiful soft corals out there. Pipe Organs can vary in appearance from something very similar in appearance to green star polyps to flower-like daisy shaped polyps.

Caulastrea commonly called trumpet corals or candy cane corals are a beginner-friendly LPS. The reason they make good beginner corals is three fold. Candy Canes are generally hardy. Second of all, they are not particularly aggressive compared to other LPS. Lastly, they are not drama queens when it comes to lighting them.
