hi everyone I bought this scoly from my lfs today for a very good price and on one of its edges it has receded a big and all around it is a bit white, I believe that I should be able to nurse it back to it’s full potential but i just wanted to know if anyone had any tips for me? here are some pics sorry about the blues:

What type of lighting are you using vs them? I’ve seen some great scoly recoveries. Keep it in a bit lower flow and spot feed it some meaty bits every now and then.

I’m using ai primes and they had hydra 26’s but i think they might’ve just had it too high in the tank and then moved it down later
 
Low flow, low light, and some meaty foods a couple times a week should help it recover fairly well.

I've always wanted a scoly, but they are pretty pricey. Went to an LFS and they had a very small, very receded scoly from a tank rescue. My LFS wasn't sure if it would make it, so I got it for a song. Low and behold 3 years later, its a wonderful specimen.

I've posted these before, but it always amazes me how much this has recovered and grown.

When I bought it, it's in a very sad shape:

Wow amazing recovery, but thanks for the recovery tips will post updated pics when it’s better.
 
Hi everyone not sure if anyone is following this thread, but this is an updated pic of my scoly after having it for almost a month and it is puffing up a lot more and getting more colorful around the edges that were almost all white before. The picture doesn’t truly do it justice
