Acclimate it gradually when moving into brighter conditions, then watch polyp expansion and overall response to confirm the chosen location is appropriate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFlow\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse moderate, indirect, varied flow that moves the polyp gently.

Observe expansion, tissue condition, and responses to light and flow regularly, then make changes gradually when the coral indicates a need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrioritize stable conditions, indirect flow, and clear space for expansion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WYSIWYG Coral","offers":[{"title":"Frag","offer_id":48977757962462,"sku":"LS51-S1-9-01-03","price":45.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/1002\/7486\/files\/LS51-S1-9-01-03.jpg?v=1788291811","url":"https:\/\/www.riptideaquaculture.com\/products\/pirate-hunter-asian-acan-coral-wysiwyg-ls51-s1-9-01-03","provider":"Riptide Aquaculture LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
