Lush Corals Quarantine & Conditioning Process
This fish has completed our full quarantine and conditioning protocol (minimum 2 weeks) prior to being made available.
During this process, each fish is:
- Carefully observed and stabilized
- Proactively treated and monitored
- Conditioned onto prepared foods
- Verified to be actively eating and thriving
This extended process significantly reduces stress and increases long-term success, ensuring you receive a fish that is healthy, stable, and truly ready for your reef.
We don’t rush fish to market—every quarantined fish we offer has been given the time it needs to succeed in your aquarium.
