Giant Clove Polyp/Palm Tree Coral Showoff Thread

[nautical_nathaniel]

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:

I got these bad boys at MACNA this year. They have dark green "leaves" with a gold neon stripe running down the middle. I hope to get some Avatars soon to go along with them in my tank!

I like these clove polyps because the don't grow like weeds like those nasty blue clove polyps and they're much easier to trim and frag if they do start to grow somewhere they shouldn't!

Yours look great too! I kinda wish the stripe on mine went all the way to the center like yours but it doesn't bother me too much

I have these - how invasive are they?

Honestly I'm surprised how fast they grow. The tank is a nano with cheap lights and weekly water change. To much flow in the reef tank. They have stayed isolated to the one rock though.

They're not supposed to be as invasive as something like blue clove polyps but they still grow pretty fast. I'd put them at the same growth rate as fast growing zoas like Sunny D's.
