Common name: Colt Coral

Scientific name: Cladiella

Cladiella is a genus of soft corals commonly known as Colt Coral. These corals are popular in the reefkeeping hobby for their hardiness and ease of care. They have a leathery texture and can come in various colors, often displaying shades of brown, green, or cream. Colt Corals are known for their ability to adapt to a range of lighting conditions, but moderate lighting and water flow are ideal for their growth. They are also capable of reproducing asexually through fragmentation, making them a favorite among hobbyists for propagation. Cladiella species can add movement and a touch of diversity to any reef aquarium.
