I'm looking for an ID on these little purple buds that appeared on my zoa frag. They survived a coral dip when I first got them, so I wasn't too concerned about them until I found more elsewhere in the tank. I'm thinking they're some sort of clove polyp as I think they have multiple arms, but...

Hi everybody,
My clove polyp grew faster and more robustly than anything else in my 9-month old tank. It's on the verge of taking over! It's attached to a central rock that's not easily removable. Any suggestions on how to control it? Can I prune it like a bush in the tank? Will that release...
Some clove polyps hitchhiked into my tank somehow. They are isolated to a small are about the size of a half dollar on a movable top rock. I have contulinously removed them by removing the rock and brushing them off with a toothbrush destroying the polyps under running water. I don’t do this in...

Hi all! I have been in the hobby for around 6-8 months now and have a 15g nano reef. I have a small frag of candy apple Zoa’s which have been doing great and had produced two new polyps within the past week but suddenly the whole colony ended up closing. I had noticed yesterday morning the new...
Has anyone tried a Majano Wand or a laser for killing Blue Clove Polyps? I like the idea of a more focused assault. AiptasiaX does fairly well but I stress about dropping it on a friendly coral.
I know lasers were a hype for a while to kill Aiptasia but then I saw some talk of concern about...
Hello everyone,
I have had a small colony of glove polyps for a few months now and they have suddenly gone into quite a long streak of staying closed up pretty much permanently. They have shrank incredibly and I’m not sure as to what to do. I haven’t changed anything in the system and every...

willing to meet up.
Let me know what you have.
Thanks a lot, Pete
I just bought 3 corals at my local fish store after my water test came back perfect and they said I should definitely try corals again. I got green star polyps, firework clove polyps, and a ricordea yuma mushroom coral. The mushroom is doing great and opened up almost immediately upon going into...
Anyone reason for clove polyps to stay retracted for extended periods? I added a frag last Sunday and they opened for a few days, but have remained closed since around Wednesday. Currently in a low flow/medium light area of the tank. For comparison, all other corals (green hammer, GSP and...
Have some nice golden clove polyps that are very pretty...but also grow like a weed. So far they seem to luckily be growing around my corals, but this growth is too explosive. I thought removing them would be a breeze but their web is harder to remove than I expected. Any suggestions?
So I bought a frag of plating sponge at an LFS and it came with some clove polyps and zoas. I especially like the clove polyps and would like them to survive but don't want them bothering the sponge either.
Should I remove the other corals and put them in separate spots? If so, any...
This morning I noticed a patch of clove polyps that were growing up the glass had dissapeared completely. The glass is completely bare (no green film algae or anything) around where the polyps are missing as well. On both sides of the missing patch all the rest of the polyps are fine and open as...
I want to know what my best option here is. I have a nano and my GSP and clove polyps are starting to get slightly overgrown but I’ve never fragged before. The clove polyps at my LFS are usually $10 per polyp so I would love to frag up that colony and start making some money back. Also, I’m only...
Hey everyone!
So really at a loss on this one, but got these clove polyps about 2 months ago and they've been great open and out. About a week ago they closed up for some reason and I thought may have something to do with lighting as I was already looking to upgrade. Switched lights and still...
Hey, so a few of my palm trees have these little “balloons” growing from the tops. The ones that do have turned a much brighter green then the rest. Is this how they spawn?
Hey folks! Let's see those giant clove polyps, the more mild mannered and less invasive member of the clove polyp group of corals!
Here is my current crop of giant clove polyps:
