Make adjustments gradually rather than moving it repeatedly, especially if the disc stays contracted or receives direct current.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGive it gentle flow, gradual acclimation, and room to spread.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WYSIWYG Coral","offers":[{"title":"Frag","offer_id":48548625088734,"sku":"J016-S1-8-4-07","price":64.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/1002\/7486\/files\/royal-ricordea-mushroom-coral-j016-s1-8-4-07-5087292.jpg?v=1785878233","url":"https:\/\/www.riptideaquaculture.com\/products\/royal-ricordea-mushroom-coral-wysiwyg-j016-s1-8-4-07","provider":"Riptide Aquaculture LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
