Representative Clove Polypsphoto — a dedicated image of this exact morph isn't available yet.
The classic clove: eight feathery tentacles per polyp resembling a daisy, with a neon-green coloration that fluoresces under blue light.
📜 Backstory
The original wild-type clove (Clavularia sp.), also called the Daisy Polyp, native to shallow Indo-Pacific reefs and sold nearly everywhere (Tidal Gardens, Biota's cultured stock, and many others). It is the common, inexpensive baseline form from which most named designer cloves are color-selected, and is widely aquacultured today.
Keeper tips for this variant
Very forgiving; moderate light and moderate flow on rock, where it will quickly carpet the surface into a dense mat. Keep it away from prized neighbors, as it encrusts and can overgrow them.
