ORA Purple and Yellow Scroll Turbinaria
The Purple & Green Scroll Coral will add beauty and a splash of color to the reef aquarium. With its purple base and bright yellow/green polyp extension, this coral’s unique growth patterns are sure to mesmerize any home aquarist!
It grows in a variety of shapes including cups, plates, vases, or scrolls and can be placed on your rockwork to grow horizontally or vertically. Unlike our Yellow Scroll, this variety does not extend its polyps much throughout the day but more so at night as it feeds on fine particulate throughout the water column.
It is a peaceful reef inhabitant and does not bother other corals when placed in close proximity. However, it should still be provided with ample space away from other corals to ensure healthy growth and avoid competition.

The coral arrived healthy and has been growing well in my 120-liter tank. The purple base and yellow polyps stand out beautifully. It grows slowly but steadily, and I notice it extends its polyps at night. I keep it on a flat rock and it’s not touching any other corals, which is perfect.

I was drawn to the color contrast, and it’s definitely a visual highlight. It doesn’t compete with other corals and stays calm. I’ve had it for three months and it’s still in great shape. A bit slower to establish than the yellow version, but worth the wait.

The growth pattern is unique—forming a scroll shape that looks natural in the tank. I placed it in a corner with moderate flow, and it’s thriving. The polyps only extend at night, which is easy to observe and manage.
