Warren Newman –
The orange color is striking and stands out well in my reef tank. I’ve had it for three months and it’s grown steadily. I make sure to feed it at night and keep the flow strong. It’s a bit sensitive to crowding, so I spaced it well from other corals. Overall, a great addition to a mature reef setup.
