Easy to set up and has grown steadily in my tank over the past few months. It doesn’t require much attention and thrives in low light. The fuzzy appearance is very attractive and adds a natural look to the display.

Grew well in my beginner reef tank with moderate lighting. I noticed small new growths after a few weeks, which I believe came from pedal laceration. It’s a peaceful addition to the tank.

Perfect for new reef keepers. It’s stable, doesn’t stress the tank, and looks beautiful. I’ve kept it for six months and it’s still healthy and spreading gently.
