Hey Reefers, let’s talk Scolymia!
Scolymia, or Scoly for short, are an extremely well-known and popular LPS coral in our hobby! These vibrant, circular corals are renowned for their show-stopping appearance and relatively easy care requirements, making them popular for Reefers.
One of the most desired and well-known aspects of Scoly are their incredible range of coloration. They come in a broad spectrum of colors: green, orange, red, pink, purple, blue, and yellow. Typically, each coral will display a combination of colors to create a one-of-a-kind pattern. Some well-known types of Scolys that are highly sought after include Master Scolys, Bleeding Apples, Superman, War Paints, and UFOs. There is a never-ending combination of colors when it comes to Scolys.
Scolymia thrive in tank temperatures from 76 to 78 degrees Fahrenheit. Be sure to keep salinity stable between 1.025 and 1.026 specific gravity. When it comes to alkalinity and calcium, they will do well between 8-12 dKH for alkalinity and 400-500 ppm for calcium. Magnesium should be kept between 1250-1350 ppm. Anywhere in these parameter ranges while maintaining stablity is crucial in promoting both coral and skeletal growth.
Scolymia can make for a stunning addition to your reef tank. They quickly become Reefer's most prized possessions, and it is easy to tell why!
