firework clove polyps anyone

[WvAquatics]

I have 2 different set of cloves. Had them for about 2 months and they are just slowly filling in the plug. Not invasive like Xenia. I'm making a section of a rock all cloves eventually

They arrived today perfectly packaged, and I promptly dipped them then moved to dt . They definitely didn't care for being shipped , but hopefully in the next couple days open up

This little piece was broken off , so I stuck into a nook in the rocks , seems happy enough. Blaze our fire shrimp had to supervise my placement..so much personality

It‘s been an hour. They all opened up an growing yet? :D Can’t wait to see.

My lights just switched to blues , but the polyps on a few are showing the orange tips ..don't mind the coral beauty..its very photogenic

One set of my cloves took 2 days 5o open. Haven't closed since

I've always liked these, but would they do well in an SPS tank? play well with others? like high flow/light?

If you look at my pic, there’s actually a purple acro on the right side of the cloves, kinda under them a little :)

Mine have slowly been growing from the bottom sand to the top of my tank over 2+ years, really pretty, I dont mind.

No, they don’t like high flow. They also look better under actinic lighting.

Turn up the flow slowly and they’ll be just fine. The higher flow they’re in, the fluffier they are. Before and after cranking up the flow, you can see my purple bonsai acro on the far left :)

Mine slow growers for sure

 

[PicassoClown04]

If you wanna grow these in a tank with mostly sps, they’re gonna grow slow. Pretty quick growers in tanks with a lot of nutrients though! They spread like beautiful wildfire but I’m pretty on top of them.

I just ordered a frag of tsb firework cloves, and wanted to see everyone's! I really wanted 2 , but they didn't have anymore

I have a lot of fireworks. They grow well for me. Hope you like them.

Superyosin- whats the green mushrooms in your photos they look fantastic

I'm in the lemon camp, I had one polyp survive a tank mini cycle that grew to three, my tuxedo took two and left me the smallest one! :rolleyes:
That one is now two and there are three or four on the urchin, slow growers but not to bad with "variable" conditions! ;)

Thanks. Bright green fuzzy rhodactis. Mine happen to be extremely bright compared to others I have seen.

I heard that they can be invasive, is this true? I just bought some and now I'm concerned

They are a slower grower. If your that worried place it on an island

Mine are apparently called firecracker cloves? But I can't find mine online anywhere
