WYSIWYG Coral
The coral pictured is the exact specimen you will receive—guaranteed. Every WYSIWYG coral is photographed individually, then carefully conditioned and monitored until shipment.
Because it remains alive and growing in our system, its size and shape may naturally develop after the photograph is taken. While it waits for its new home, we carefully maintain stable conditions to keep its coloration as true to the photograph as possible.

LT Jelly Bean Favites with Blue care questions
Where should I place LT Jelly Bean Favites with Blue?
Start at Lower to middle reef. Leave room for growth and move the coral only after observing its response to the current position.
