Warren Johnston –
Installed the Acid Shower Astreopora in my 50-gallon reef tank with consistent lighting and strong flow. The neon yellow polyps expanded rapidly within a week and look vibrant under the LED lights. It’s become a centerpiece in the display.
Gavin Mackay –
The coral arrived healthy and fully acclimated. It’s grown well in moderate flow and has developed a strong branching structure. The color is bright and stands out in the tank.
Owen May –
Grew quickly in my tank with proper lighting. The polyps are very active and show good fluorescence. A bit sensitive to low flow, so I increased the water movement slightly.
Felicity Scott –
Highly satisfied with the quality and appearance. The neon yellow color is striking and the coral has maintained its health over several weeks. Sourced from sustainable aquaculture, which is a plus.
