Clavularia Papaya Maintenance Experience

[MysticSea]

I just bought this wonderful coral and did research prior. I noticed there isn't much specific threads on this coral that are to helpful or very general. I am interested to see what experiences other reefers had or have had on this coral. Information that would be helpful would be 1) any supplements used and has it grown faster? 2) any phytoplankton feedings (maybe add the brand) 3) lighting if you deem that important for increasing growth and/or color?

Any information will be gratefully appreciated since, I am also learning!

I do t think these are particularly difficult. I’m sure feedings would help but it’s mainly photosynthetic from what I can remember

Yes, I use the sachem phytoplankton but, would love to use live phytoplankton since I feel works better. I'm interested to see how to promote the growth and help reefers who are thinking of getting some.

Oh man sorry about that. Did it die all of a sudden? or did something cause it?

Well when you decide to get live I highly suggest algae barn. Just bought some from them (and I’ve bought a lot over the years) and was really impressed with their bottles, packing, and customer service. Quality of product seems good as well.

Yeah I have bought copepods before from them and they have always given me tons. Once I am done with the bottle I'll definitely go back to algae barn.
