Australian Scolymia Coral – Mini
The Mini Scolymia Coral is a quarter-sized large polyp stony (LPS) coral, known for its unique coloration and compact size. It is a round, solitary coral with a single oral opening typically located in the center, though multiple openings may occur in some specimens.
Available in various mottled color forms such as dark green, red, or brown, this coral can have cup, saucer, flat, or dome-shaped morphologies. It is semi-aggressive and can expand up to twice its original size during the day, so it requires ample space from other corals.
It is relatively easy to maintain in a reef aquarium and is suitable for both beginner and advanced aquarists. Moderate lighting and stable water conditions are recommended.

I bought this coral for my new reef tank and it has been thriving after a few weeks. The colors are vibrant and it looks great in the corner with plenty of space. It didn’t expand much, which I’m happy about. Easy to place and stays stable.
