Received the Button Coral in good condition. It looks healthy and has a nice round shape. Easy to place in the tank and has started to grow after a few weeks. Very satisfied with the product.
Dominic Wallace –
The coral arrived quickly and was well packed. It settled well in my reef tank. I noticed it extending its polyps after a week. Would recommend to other reef keepers.

Great quality and live coral. The color is vibrant and it’s been stable in my tank for over a month. No signs of stress or deterioration.
