Benjamin Randall –
The neon sand anemone arrived healthy and expanded well in my 40-gallon tank. It thrives under moderate lighting and has become a focal point. I appreciate the clear labeling and accurate description.
Michael Hudson –
Grew steadily over three months. Needs moderate flow and stable water parameters. Not for beginners, but rewarding once established.
Melanie Bower –
Placed it in the lower section of my tank. It has adapted well and shows vibrant coloration. The size is larger than expected, and it fits the XXL category perfectly.
