Overview:
The Firework Clove Polyps (Clavularia sp.) are widely considered the “superstars” of the soft coral world. While standard cloves are often a muted brown or green, the Firework variety looks like a literal explosion of color, featuring deep purple or blue feathery tentacles with brilliant neon orange or gold tips and a glowing green center. They provide incredible motion to a reef, swaying gracefully in the current like a field of wildflowers.
