The green with blue tips look stunning in my 120-liter tank. I’ve kept them with a few other Euphyllia species and they coexist well. The movement adds a lively touch to the display.

Grew well under moderate lighting. The two-head structure is unique and visually interesting. I appreciate the color variation between the tips and body.

Great addition to my reef setup. The flow and light conditions I have match the recommended range. Polyps are active and colorful, especially during morning hours.
