Scolymia australis (Red) is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its brilliant red hues and fleshy, rounded polyps. This Tank-Bred frag is cultivated under controlled conditions, ensuring robust health and acclimation to aquarium life.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is ideal, such as LED or T5 fixtures providing 50-150 PAR. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Low to moderate water movement is recommended to gently circulate water without stressing the coral’s delicate tissues.
Placement: Position this coral on the substrate or lower to middle areas of the tank where it can expand fully. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and stinging.
Care: Scolymia australis thrives in stable water parameters with regular feeding of meaty foods like mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods 1-2 times per week to promote growth and vibrant colouration.
Compatibility: Reef safe with caution; maintain sufficient distance from aggressive corals to avoid damage.
This frag is an excellent choice for hobbyists seeking a striking, manageable LPS coral to enhance their marine aquarium.
