Easy to care for and very peaceful in the tank. I’ve had it for three months and it’s thriving in my 10-gallon reef tank. No issues with other corals or fish.

Perfect for beginners. It’s small, doesn’t cause any disturbances, and stays calm around my clownfish. I’m happy with the size and appearance.

Added it to my new aquarium last month. It’s been active and healthy. The care instructions were simple, and it’s a great addition to a reef setup.
