Colt Coral
Cladiella sp.
Also known as: cladiella, klyxum, colt coral, seaman's hands, soft coral
Loading…
Soft, rubbery branching coral with a slightly fuzzy, pulsing texture when polyps are open. Fast-growing and hardy, tolerating a wide range of light and flow. Often confused with Kenya Tree. A great early soft coral that quickly adds movement and volume.

TYPICAL PRICE

Grows like a weed and looks great doing it — superb value for filling space early on.
⚠ SPREADS MODERATELY
Grows quickly and drops branchlets that can root elsewhere — easy to frag, but trim if it crowds neighbors.
