Beautiful pieces great value buy some pieces were broken due to poor packagingYes, they are tiny - but if you read the description, you'd know that!. They look good enough, through the "mushroom" shaped ones are a little lame. The review asked me to rate the "suction power" - there are no suction cups of any kind and these are a hard material, so I'm not sure what they are asking.I bought them to go in my octopus tank with my dwarf octopus, and they work well there - the tank can't have an abundance of light because the octo doesn't like it, so there isn't enough light to support coral growth. These give the tank some color. Yes, the porous surface is perfect for algae growth if you put them in a tank with enough light, but this hasn't been a problem for me.They're super cute and they look great in my tank, but almost half of them were broken when they arrived. I was able to bury one of the broken ones in the sand so it kind of looks complete and won't hurt my fish, but the others are a loss, sadly.They are soo cute! Some of the colors are a bit bright but I like most of them. I would say the tallest corals are under two inches high.I'm planning on placing them on a rock to simulate a coral reef. Its gonna look a tad fake but after researching other items on Amazon and PetSmart I decided this was the best fit for me. They individually wrapped each coral in bubble wrap and put them in a small box, which was shipped inside a larger box. Packaging was GREAT, however the orange coral was chipped, it happens.These little corals were a great price, much better pricing than brick and mortar stores; however, to me they don't look real enough to use in my tank, but I am super picky...and a couple of them arrived broken (even though the packing was good). I am going to keep them, because they are a good deal and once I get 'real' color in my tank on my base rocks maybe they'll blend better/look more realistic and I'll utilize them. Overall, a good deal and realistic enough.Ok so I'm sure I will have to do an update after a few months. But first look these are very sturdy. I got 2 packs and 0 came broken they were all individually bubble wrapped in a small box together. Color is great. I have glued them to a rock in my small 20 gallon as these are very small pieces. It is a saltwater tank so we will see how they last and look in a few monthsI used my own live rock I had and stuck these on it. Plus I ordered from amazon some single ones as well to add to my live rock.I did not like the structures they had at the pets stores and I really wanted to use my old life rock. This turned out great. My saltwater fish love it
