The Lobophyllia Mix arrived healthy and showed vibrant colours right after setup. It has added a stunning visual element to my reef tank. I maintain stable water parameters and use moderate lighting, which helps keep the colours bright and lively.

Great coral with strong colour contrast. It’s a bit sensitive to water fluctuations, so I’ve had to monitor my parameters closely. After a few weeks, the red and yellow hues are very noticeable and impressive.
