The orange color is very striking in my tank. It grows well with moderate lighting and regular water flow. The polyps extend nicely and look healthy after a few weeks. Easy to maintain and adds a vibrant touch to the display.

I’ve had this coral for about two months now. It’s colorful and active, especially under LED lighting. The texture is unique and stands out among other corals. A bit more water movement helps it stay expanded.
