WYSIWYG*
This species, in our opinion, is the prettiest of the Hornet collection. This variety gets its’ best coloration in lower light (PAR 80-150) with moderate flow. This species is aquacultured but originated in the indopacific around islands like Fiji, Tonga, Solomon Islands, and the Great Barrier Reef. When handling this coral make sure to check for open cuts that may be exposed to this coral or wear gloves and eyewear to avoid palytoxins (a neurotoxin that can cause irritant to the skin and in rare situations have deadly consequences).

We use FedEX Priority Overnight for coral delivery and we ship on Tuesday and Wednesday only after contacting you, which we will do via email with order and shipping specific information prior to shipment. Monday is the most likely day for delays, and Thursday delays result in Monday deliveries; therefore we ship on Tuesday and Wednesday.

We check the weather in our area, the weather in your area, and the Memphis FedEX hub to help ensure a timely shipment, however we are not responsible for delays.
