The anemone arrived healthy and fully expanded. It has been in my 40-gallon tank for two months and is thriving under moderate lighting. It’s a beautiful addition to the reef and stays relatively calm with other invertebrates.
Chloe Graham –
Grew well in my 30-gallon tank with moderate flow. The white beaded pattern is striking. I had to adjust the lighting slightly, but it’s now stable and active.
Elizabeth Quinn –
Great quality and color. It’s been a centerpiece in my tank for over a month. Water parameters are stable and it shows no signs of stress or aggression.
