Observe extension, tissue condition, and responses to light or flow changes, making adjustments gradually rather than shifting placement or conditions abruptly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBest results come from patient acclimation, open spacing, and consistent reef maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WYSIWYG Coral","offers":[{"title":"Frag","offer_id":48983648469214,"sku":"LS028-S1-8-31-03","price":29.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/1002\/7486\/files\/LS028-S1-8-31-03.jpg?v=1788375529","url":"https:\/\/www.riptideaquaculture.com\/products\/bandit-goniopora-coral-wysiwyg-ls028-s1-8-31-03","provider":"Riptide Aquaculture LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
