Bernadette Martin –
The anemone arrived healthy and settled well in my 40-gallon tank. It has grown steadily over the past two months and remains active with the lighting I have. I appreciate the clear instructions on care and placement.
Dylan Slater –
It’s a beautiful addition to my reef setup. I’ve noticed it doesn’t harm other corals and stays in the low area as expected. A bit more active than I thought, but manageable with moderate flow.
Brian Henderson –
Perfect for intermediate reef keepers. It’s easy to maintain and responds well to moderate lighting. I’ve kept it for six months and it’s still vibrant and stable.
