The anemone arrived healthy and has been thriving in my 40-gallon tank for three months. It’s colorful and active under moderate lighting. I keep it in a corner with a few corals and it hasn’t shown signs of stress.
Lily Gill –
It’s a beautiful addition to my reef tank. I had to adjust the water flow slightly to match its needs, but it’s now stable and expanding its tentacles regularly.
Una McGrath –
I’ve had this anemone for six months and it’s grown steadily. The color is vibrant and it’s not aggressive toward my peaceful fish. Only requires moderate lighting and medium flow.
