Michael Langdon –
The anemone arrived healthy and settled well in my 40-gallon tank. It has expanded nicely over the past month and remains stable with my corals. Light and flow are just right for it.
Kevin Sharp –
Grew quickly in my reef tank. I kept it in a low area with moderate lighting. It’s not aggressive but does require some space around it to avoid contact with other anemones.
Warren Taylor –
Perfect for intermediate reef keepers. It’s easy to maintain and has adapted well to my tank conditions. I appreciate the clear labeling and accurate description.
