Info

Cladiella digitulata is a soft coral from shallow Asian / Indonesian waters, but there are also reports of findings from the east coast of Africa in the western Indian Ocean.
Since the coral has entered a symbiosis with zooxanthellae, a keeping and propagation in home aquariums would be certainly well possible, however, we are not aware of any offers from the specialized trade.

Special thanks for the first photos of Cladiella digitulata to Dr. Yukimitsu Imahara and Daishi Naruse, Japan!
