Excellent service
“The coral frag (Green hystrix) was very carefully packed in a solid container with a captive float, so no damage in transport. It arrived promptly (3 h early) the next day and looked great as soon it was in the holding tank. Larger frag than expected. Overall excellent service, definitely recommended.”

Better Than Expected
“Expecting 5-6cm frag, but was more like inches (at least 3+ inches across). Lots of branches and growth tips. Polyps opened straight away and are a stunning green colour. Very happy with this coral.”

Great Coral
“This frag was huge, the green really stand out when the polyps are extended. The best sized frag for the money I've found.”
By Chris E on 05/03/2017
Magnificent!
“Was an amazing frag! I always thought that a frag should be a small handful to give it the best chance, when I've had SPS frags from others in the past, the piece is so small it could get blown away by my passing Copepods... Amazing frag, amazing packaging and would recommend!”
By Stephen M on 09/02/2017

“Great frag”
By Paul J on 12/09/2016
Very good service
“Excellent service arrived next day despite the fact that I ordered at 12.10pm the shop responded to my email question within an hour and the frags are well packed and are larger than at other sellers. This hystrix is really pretty, looks like a little tree with many tips, is healthy and extended its polyps even still packed waiting for acclimatisation. It is attached on a disc, which I prefer. Very happy about the purchase.”

Fantastic Movement
“I ordered this frag because it thought it would add some movement to my SPS corals. Couldn't be happier! Fantastic colours and great extension from only a few minutes after acclimatising which has only got better the longer it has been in my tank”
