This Australian large polyped hard coral are purchased gladly by both the beginners as well as advanced amateur aquarists. Scolymia is concerned with a single polyp (Solitary polyp), having thick, fixed tissue and small ,,teeth“ around septa. In form very often Scolymia resembles a colourful (or monochromatic), slightly bulky, circular disk-, doughnut- or tabulate corals.

Keeping Scolymia
Scolymia will thank you if you put down these unique corals in a low-water flow bottom zone. Scolymia does not need too much light. Caution should be given when selecting the location since these hard corals react very badly in case of entanglement. Moreover you should mandatorily note that the tissues are not damaged. Scolymia reacts very sensitively to manual damages of tissues.
Feeding the Scolymia
Scolymia can be fed with NYOS Goldpods. They eat zooplankton and phytoplankton gladly. At Whitecorals online shop you have a collection of coral food for all species of corals. Scolymia stretches at night from the center of its tentacle to catch the plankton.
