Peppermint Scoly

About this coral

ASD Peppermint Scoly is a fleshy LPS coral sold as a showpiece “scoly” style coral for reef aquariums. Practical use: it’s typically kept for its bold, display-focused appearance and for adding a meaty, centerpiece coral look to mixed reefs. Group-level guidance applies to fleshy LPS (often referred to as scolies) since named color traits can vary by seller, and care is best approached as a fleshy LPS/scoly-type coral. Keep it in an environment with stable reef conditions, appropriate light, and moderate flow, and consider targeted feeding to support its fleshy tissue.

Features:

• Fleshy LPS “scoly” style coral meant for aquarium display and visual impact
• Generally benefits from stable, mature reef-style water conditions
• Often prefers moderate water movement so its tissue remains fully inflated
• Typically does best under moderate-to-strong reef lighting to support photosynthesis
• May benefit from occasional targeted feeding (meaty foods) to supplement its energy needs
• Works well as a centerpiece in a lower-to-moderate flow zone rather than high-surge areas
• Helps create a natural, textured look alongside other LPS and soft corals (when compatible)
