{"title":"WYSIWYG (Marine Fish)","description":"\u003cp\u003eWYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) Marine Fish are individually photographed (and often videoed) so you’re buying that exact fish – not “something similar”. This lets you choose the precise size, colouration and pattern you prefer, which is especially important for showpiece or rare species. Each listing clearly shows the individual’s condition so there are no surprises on arrival, though colours may look slightly different under your own lighting. As always, please check the species’ requirements for minimum tank size, temperament and reef-compatibility before purchasing to ensure the perfect long-term match for your aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"japanese-anthias-cherry","title":"Japanese Cherry Anthias - Sacura margaritacea","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJapanese Cherry Anthias (Sacura margaritacea)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Japanese Cherry Anthias is a striking deep-water anthias admired for its rich cherry-red to pink colouration and elegant, elongated shape.
