I haven't seen one do that either. Strange though. I'd leave it alone and see what happens.

Might be splitting?

Its Been like that for several months, only time it looks like a regular scoly is at night when tentacles are out

Check your levels something might be low and causes it not to.act Normal or fully inflate

Looks more like splitting, reproducing to me. Usually when things go wrong with Scolys they show skeleton. As long as you don't see bone I wouldn't worry.

Looks to me like a LPS polyp drip, maybe. I've seen favias and euphyillias do it but not scolys. Again, I'd leave it alone and see what happens.

I am having one do the same thing. its the bleeding apple in the front. I'm fairly new to scolys and picked it up off a fellow reefer getting out of the hobby. I had the same question too, but as I'm new to scolys I assumed it was normal:

Weird. They look like a cross between a scoly and trachy.

Scolys don't split. The reproduce sexually or by a new "bud" forming on the side. I think it's a type of hybrid.
