The anemone arrived healthy and vibrant. It has been in my tank for three months and is thriving. The color is bright and it responds well to lighting. Easy to maintain and adds a lot of visual appeal to the reef.

Great color and growth rate. I noticed it expanded slightly after two weeks. Water parameters were stable, and it hasn’t shown any signs of stress. Would recommend to reef hobbyists looking for a colorful addition.
