This item is only made once you order it, so I don't keep stock that could go unsold and be thrown away. It's made and posted by a third-party partner, so it ships separately from other products.

Ask me about this product

Bare rock, brown dust, a bit of hair algae and a lot of staring at the glass wondering if it'll ever look like the photos. Every reef has an ugly phase. This one is for the people who made it out the other side. The print is on the front, on a garment-dyed Comfort Colors 1717 tee, printed for me by a third party once you order.

What's on the front?

SURVIVED THE in capitals, with "ugly phase." in big italic underneath. Below that is a painted tan-brown rock that has clearly been around a while, with a clump of green Duncan corals, a patch of green star polyps, a cluster of red mushrooms and a snail sitting on the top peak. There are still a few tufts of hair algae, because there always are.

What is it made from?

100% ring-spun cotton, 6.1 oz/yd² (206.8 g/m²), garment-dyed, with a relaxed fit.

Which sizes and colours does it come in?

Sizes: S, M, L, XL and 2XL, all at the same price of £26.99. True Navy XL is temporarily unavailable.

Colour: Blue Spruce, True Navy, Black, Ivory or White.

Made on demand

Each one is printed once you order, so it comes separately from the rest of the shop. UK delivery is £5.00 and it usually arrives in 5 to 12 working days. See delivery and returns.

The rest of the set

For what tends to happen once the tank looks good, there's the mandarin dragonet tee and the Corals of the Reef Tank field guide tee. Or browse merchandise.
