The Watermelon Zoanthid arrived healthy and vibrant. It has grown well in my 40-gallon tank with moderate lighting. The colors are bright and stand out among other corals. Easy to maintain and shows no signs of stress after two months.

Great addition to my reef tank. The coral blooms beautifully under LED lighting. I didn’t have to adjust water parameters much. It’s a bit slow to spread, but it’s stable and looks stunning.

I’ve had this coral for three months now. It’s thriving in my 55-gallon tank. The color is vivid and it’s very forgiving of minor water changes. No issues with compatibility with my clownfish and shrimp.
