The Mermaid Fan plant arrived healthy with roots attached. It fits well in my reef tank and has started to grow after a few weeks. The plant looks natural and helps improve water clarity.

Easy to plant and stays stable in the substrate. I noticed a small increase in water flow around the tank after adding it. A good addition to my marine setup.

Grew quickly in my tank and looks very attractive. The plant is hardy and doesn’t seem to attract fish that eat it. Works well with my existing coral.
