Lucas Hart –
Easy to care for and very peaceful in the tank. It has adapted well to our 50-gallon reef setup. No aggression and blends well with other corals and fish. A great addition for beginners.
Owen Bower –
Grew steadily over three months. Very calm and doesn’t stress other tank inhabitants. Only needed occasional water changes as part of routine maintenance.
Alison Vaughan –
Perfect for a small reef tank. It’s active but not aggressive. The coloration is vibrant and it looks natural in the environment. Highly recommend for new reef keepers.
