The coral arrived healthy and settled well in my tank. It’s been a few weeks and it’s showing good coloration. I appreciate its resilience to water fluctuations. Easy to maintain once placed properly.

Great addition to my reef tank. The coral has grown slightly since arrival and remains active. I like its natural appearance and how it holds up in my water parameters.
