In general, Clavularia are soft corals with several individual polyps that are attached to a piece of live rock. Their polyps are distinct where each polyps has eight tentacles/leaves.

As for the Green Glove Polyp, they are predominatly colored light pink with green polyps. This are the water parameters for cultivating Green Glove Polyp:

  • Calcium: 420 - 440 ppm
  • Alkalinity: 2.86 - 4.259 MEQ/L (8 - 12 dKH)
  • Phosphates: > 0.10 mg/L
  • Magnesium: 1260 - 1350
  • Strontium: 8 -10 mg/L
  • Temperature: 72° - 78° F (22° - 26° C)
  • Salinity / Specific Gravity: 1.023 - 1.025
  • pH: 8.1 - 8.4
