firework clove polyps anyone

[Oldsman]

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

Bump,

Anyone tonight have any to share?

 

[Oldsman]

Contacted Budsman and they had a bunch more frags. I was able to purchase another frag before shipping, and they arrive Thursday! I'm really excited to see them in person and find a suitable spot where they'll show

 

[Oldsman]

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

Bump. I love the look of these. Curious to see if others have them. Also curious as to whether or not they’re as prone to grow like crazy like other clove polyps

 

[Oldsman]

thats what I wonder, I'm really new to this , and starting with easier corals . I moved them about mid tank and into less flow after everyone ate . They all looked deflated , figure a couple days to settle in

Gorgeous! Do they seem as invasive as other cloves as far as growth goes?

Mine haven't really been spreading for some reason.

I don’t find them invasive at all!! They form a thick white mat underneath that is very easy to peel off the rock should you want to remove some. I frag about 6 polyps to sell every 2-3 weeks just to keep the fireworks from outcompeting my xenia, WWC flame tips, WWC green pipe organ, and Lemon Tip cloves. I get nice frags from all four about once a month

I wanted some of the fireworks but ended up with the lemon tip cloves

here's mine that are for sale...they spread very slowly. wouldn't say invasive at all.

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

 

[Oldsman]

Wow they all look great ! Gives me inspiration for how my new ones will look

 

[Oldsman]

I've gotta look up lemon tip cloves !

 

[BeltedCoyote]

Well, I think I’m sold. These are added to my list

Firework cloves are very pretty. In my experience they do not spread as bad as other cloves.

They are similar but slightly different. Yours should perk up soon, mine looked rough after shipping. Thought they were dead lol
