This coral has been in my tank for three months and it’s thriving. The red tubes and green polyps are very striking. It responds well to moderate flow and stays active even in a well-lit tank. Easy to maintain and adds a lot of visual interest.

I bought this as a beginner-friendly LPS coral. It’s not the largest, but it’s very active and colorful. I keep it in moderate flow with high light, and it’s been stable since setup. A good choice for intermediate reef keepers.
