    So I bought a colony of ultra clove polyps and don't seem to make them happy. Wondering what I'm doing wrong.
    I have them low in my take with my lights turned down I have good flow. Not sure what kind of light they like.

    Someone else might know more about them specifically, I'm just speculating here, but the issue I'm having lately is too low of nutrients, especially for softies: I've been told .02ppm PO4 and 5ppm NO3 is a good target. I started feeding more and have been seeing improvements.

    As a side note, I've heard of people using xenia as nutrient export, instead of macroalgae, since they suck up nutrients and propagate so well. Xenia, GSP, and cloves all seem pretty similar in my opinion
