Scolymia australis (Ufo) Premium is a striking large polyp stony (LPS) coral from the Mussidae family, renowned for its bold colours and fleshy, rounded polyp structure. This extra large specimen is perfect for advanced marine aquarium enthusiasts looking to add a vibrant focal point to their reef tank.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is ideal to maintain the coral’s vivid pigmentation and health. Avoid intense direct light that may cause bleaching.
Water Flow: Provide low to moderate water flow to ensure adequate nutrient delivery without damaging the delicate polyp tissue.
Placement: Position on the substrate or lower rockwork with ample space around it to prevent aggression towards neighbouring corals. This species can extend sweeper tentacles, so maintain at least 10cm clearance.
Care Level: Intermediate to advanced. Requires stable water parameters and regular feeding to thrive.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae but benefits from supplemental feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods 1-2 times weekly.
Compatibility: Reef safe with caution; ensure adequate spacing from other corals to avoid aggression.
Minimum Tank Size: 90 litres (20 gallons) recommended to provide stable conditions.
With proper care, this premium Scolymia australis (Ufo) will flourish, adding spectacular colour and texture to your marine aquarium.
