The coral arrived healthy and vibrant. It has been in my tank for three months and shows good coloration and polyp extension. Water parameters are stable and flow is moderate. I appreciate the aquacultured origin—no concerns about wild harvesting.

It’s a beautiful addition to my reef. The polyps respond well to gentle water movement. I’ve maintained stable salinity and temperature. A bit sensitive to sudden changes, but overall very satisfying.
