The coral has added a lot of visual interest to my tank. It grows well in moderate lighting and responds well to water flow. The color is vibrant and the polyps extend nicely when the water moves.
Peter Hudson –
I’ve had this coral for three months now and it’s doing great. It’s not aggressive and blends well with other corals. I adjusted its position to match the lighting, and it’s thriving.

The pink variety is stunning. It’s been a highlight in my reef setup. The polyps extend when the flow increases, which is very noticeable and adds to the tank’s activity.
