When fully inflated, the thick mantle expands over the skeleton to create the rounded, almost doughnut-like appearance that makes Scolys such sought-after showpiece corals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere's also an interesting story behind the familiar name. The Australian corals reef keepers still commonly call \"Scolys\" are no longer classified as \u003cem\u003eScolymia\u003c\/em\u003e. They were reclassified as \u003cem\u003eHomophyllia australis\u003c\/em\u003e, but the old Scoly name remains firmly established throughout the reef hobby.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScientific Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eHomophyllia australis\u003c\/em\u003e (formerly \u003cem\u003eScolymia australis\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePAR:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50?125\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlow:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low to moderate.

Scolys are photosynthetic but are also enthusiastic feeders. Occasional target feeding with mysis, finely chopped seafood or suitable LPS foods can support excellent inflation, growth and condition. Their feeding response can be surprisingly impressive for a coral that spends most of the day looking completely stationary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Scolys thrive with stable reef parameters, moderate lighting and occasional feeding. Their relatively compact growth and incredible colour make them ideal for creating a standout feature on the sandbed. Stable alkalinity, calcium and magnesium will support continued skeletal growth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Happy Reef","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53627170914640,"sku":"THRC-0022","price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.thehappyreef.com\/products\/ultra-bleeding-apple-scoly-90","provider":"The Happy Reef","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
