The anemone arrived in excellent condition and has been thriving in my 120-gallon tank. The metallic green color is stunning and it’s become a focal point. Water parameters are stable and it’s showing signs of growth after two months.

Great size and color. It’s a bit shy at first, but after a few weeks it settled and started extending its tentacles. I keep it in a shaded area with plenty of live rock.

Highly recommended for reef enthusiasts. The anemone looks more vibrant than in photos. It’s been stable for over three months and has grown slightly in size.
