Hey guys I finally pulled the trigger on my first scoly! I have a barebottom tank and placing it there, but do I glue this coral to a piece of rubble rock first OR does the weight of its own skeleton hold them in place? (the location won't have direct flow)

Thanks.... btw here is the vendor pic, it will never look this good on camera again lol

No glue required. Very pretty.

Glad to hear this... The last mounting task turned into a disaster! I was trying the BRS glue, then gorilla glue... finally I tried Harbor Freights glue... well that thing was as thin as water, and I squirted up my WWC Yellowtips Acro :(

Hope it makes it

Mine just sit on the bottom.
Looks more like a Trac to me, Scolly is usually very round.

I agree but I ordered it from Top Shelf Aquatics I would assume they know more than me...

Are Trachy's usually selling for a discount to Scolys? Wonder if I overpaid on a miss label. (this will be the most $$$ coral in my tank)

**edit**
looking at a few of the popular vendors seems below $300 is a good deal after all

Thank you all for tips and advice

Probably just a mislabel but I think that price is fair for something from TSA
 
Not necessarily, it depends largely on colour and size.
My Scollies all have flat bottoms, my trachies all have a cone shape.
Nevertheless, that’s great colour and worth the price IMM. EA7C86AF-9EE3-4E32-A592-6A491FABC452.jpeg
