Great color and texture. The coral has grown steadily over the past few months. I noticed it responds well to moderate flow and stays healthy with regular water changes.

I was impressed by the size and color variety. The polyps are fleshy and expand nicely in the tank. It’s a bit more demanding than beginner corals, but worth the effort for the visual impact.
