Never seen another like my lavender scoly. Never bought any of the crazy color ones because this one was still more unique to me. (And I ran out of room.) it’s one of my first corals.

so i have a small 20 gallon reef tank. I have been debated the scollies but wonder if a small tank like mine is ok? They are considered an LPS correct? i run an AI prime light and my flow is varied depending on what part of the tank it is. I have had good success with a lobo and wondered are they a similar type of coral as far as keeping them happy and healthy? Any info you could pass along my way would be great. I am considering dropping a fair amount on this next pick so i want to be sure i know what I'm getting into before i make a big purchase. Thanks!

Your tank params are perfect. Scolymia like low light.

Here is a care sheet

Tidal Gardens - Scolymia Coral Care

Scolymia are one of the most highly sought after large polyp stony corals in the reef keeping hobby. They’ve been popular ever since intensely colored specimens started being imported from Australia. In the past few years, many corals have been reclassified, so what many people call Scolymia...

beautiful scollies those & masters are definitely one of a kind !

I know there’s some unique pieces to be posted yet, maybe even dive a little in to how you care for your scollies like feeding, flow etc

Very nice mate, don’t see the lavender colours often, how long have you had it, do you target feed ?

In my opinion mate, if your parameters are on point scollies will do well.

I put mine on the bottom with low flow, dose some polyp booster once a week & target feed with either reef roids or mysis shrimp usually before a water change.

just ensure you put different types of scollies seperate from one another.

Here’s my button scolly I’ve had for awhile now, the polyp size when retracted wouldn’t be more then an inch, but he usually is borderline on par with standard scollies he fluffs out so much !

 

[reefdude101]

Here’s another one I picked up yesterday, like a deep red with blue edge.

spotted it straight away & asked how much, my lfs threw it in as a freebie !

I’m hoping in 6-8 weeks I can get this guy fluffing out a lot more looks like he’s had a rough ride with shipping etc .. receeding slightly around the edges & don’t believe it’s showing It’s true colours as of yet .. hoping with good care & time he will brighten up even more.

Here’s my master croc island Scolly
The photos really don’t do this guy justice from my iPhone.

hes a bright orange/with yellows leading to the mouth, Blue dots around the edge & The mouth itself when he opens up for feeding it’s crazy watching that blue come out.

definitely my favourite in my tank & nicest coral Ive ever owned.

Going on about 2 years. Yeah that top down pic is a mouth full of pellets. I feed it only when changing water. So every 7-10 days.
