Michael Howard –
The green hammer coral has grown well in my tank after a few weeks. I followed the acclimation instructions carefully and it’s now thriving in moderate lighting. It’s a beautiful addition to the display and doesn’t seem to affect nearby corals when kept properly spaced.
Deirdre Marshall –
I bought this coral for my reef tank and it’s doing fine. I make sure to keep it in a separate area with good water flow and stable parameters. It’s a bit sensitive to sudden light changes, so I adjust slowly as recommended.
Melanie McLean –
The coral arrived healthy and has been growing steadily. I appreciate that it’s cultured, so it’s not harming natural reef ecosystems. I keep it in a well-maintained tank with consistent water chemistry.
