And how much was it? Ive been looking for a nice clove for a while but they are so expensive. Do they like a lot of flow? I thought cloves liked lower flows. REB

Are clove polyps and anthelia the same, becaus it looks like anthelia to me.

 

[frenchie]

there different, i have both anthelia and clove polyps.

 

[michealprater]

What are the differences, they look so similiar. The cloves may be lighter in color.

 

[Letmegrow]

Color is the worst way to classify something.

Anthelia is Anthelia sp.
Clove polyps is Clavularia sp.

Looks the same in some species but as a genus whole, they can look wildly different.

 

[michealprater]

I will never classify by color again. Not sure what to call blue tort, green star polyps, red monti caps or purple people eaters anymore. Guess I will just cut the color off the name.

 

[Letmegrow]

Color is a description, not a classification.
Smart guy.

 

[Reefer Wannabe]

All right, let me step in between you two again. I think what Pee Wee is saying is that you can't classify two diff. species (or genus) by color. In other words, you can't say: "A hammer looks very much like a frogspawn, but a hammer is darker green." Some hammers are green some aren't.

I may be wrong but I think one major difference between all cloves and all anthelia is that cloves have a harder "stem".

Michael, if you met PeeWee, you'd like him (maybe). I like him except when he leaves his stanky boxers at my house.
