Reverse Bleeding Apple Scoly

About this coral

ASD Reverse Bleeding Apple Scoly is an LPS (large-polyp stony) coral sold under the “scoly” common name. “Reverse Bleeding Apple Scoly” typically refers to a particular named variety of scolymorph-style LPS, with color/pattern variation used for identification rather than a confirmed different species. In practical terms, this coral is used as a focal, display centerpiece—its large fleshy polyp tissue and sculpted skeleton make it a prominent showpiece in reef aquariums, especially in well-established setups with stable water conditions.

Features:

• Fleshy, sculptural LPS appearance that works well as a main display focal point
• Helps add movement and visual texture as its polyps extend under suitable conditions
• Generally benefits from moderate, stable lighting rather than intense, direct blast
• Generally prefers gentle, indirect water flow to avoid damaging tissue
• In established reef aquariums, can benefit from targeted feeding of suitable meaty foods (in addition to light-dependent nutrition)
• Typically best placed on the sand bed or a stable rock surface where it can settle without being knocked
• As with most LPS, stable parameters and gradual acclimation support healthier tissue condition
