It’s highly sought after by reef aquarium enthusiasts for its dynamic appearance and textured surface, making it a standout centerpiece in marine tanks.

Size
The frag size typically ranges between 0.5 – 1 inches, offering a compact yet prominently visible addition that fits well into various reef tank layouts without dominating space.
Lighting
