The anemone arrived healthy and fully expanded. It has been in my 30-gallon tank for three months and is thriving. My clownfish visits it regularly, and it looks vibrant. Easy to care for and very active.

It settled in quickly and has grown steadily. I appreciate that it’s aquacultured—no concerns about wild harvesting. The coloration is natural and the texture is soft. Just make sure lighting is adequate.

Great addition to my reef tank. It’s not aggressive and doesn’t bother my shrimp or corals. I’ve had it for six weeks and it’s still expanding. Very satisfied with the purchase.
