The anemone arrived healthy and settled well in my 30-gallon tank. It has been thriving under moderate light and moderate flow. Very active and colorful, it adds a nice touch to the reef setup.
Nicholas Hudson –
It’s a beautiful addition to the tank. I noticed it’s semi-aggressive and does not harm other invertebrates. Needs moderate lighting and stable water conditions to flourish.
Justin Ellison –
Grew quickly after a few weeks. The white beads stand out well in the tank. I keep it in the lower area where it has plenty of space to expand.
