I’ve had this coral for three months now and it’s thriving. The colour changes are striking, especially in the evening light. Feeding is straightforward and it doesn’t require much space.

Great addition to my lower tank region. The contrasting rings and bright mouth colours are stunning. It’s grown steadily without any signs of stress.

It’s a bit more active than other corals I’ve tried. I feed it daily and it responds well. The compact size makes it ideal for a mid-sized reef tank.
