Watch polyp expansion, tissue condition, and nearby coral spacing regularly; adjust lighting, flow, or placement gradually when observations call for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStable conditions, indirect flow, and sensible spacing support reliable long-term care.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WYSIWYG Coral","offers":[{"title":"Frag","offer_id":48977309139166,"sku":"LS41-S1-9-01-08","price":32.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/1002\/7486\/files\/LS41-S1-9-01-08.jpg?v=1788291348","url":"https:\/\/www.riptideaquaculture.com\/products\/monty-python-hammer-coral-wysiwyg-ls41-s1-9-01-08","provider":"Riptide Aquaculture LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
