Aussie Green Button Scoly

About this coral

Aussie Green Button Scoly is a named button scoly coral in the large-polyp stony (LPS) coral group. It is a fleshy, usually solitary-polyp type of reef coral suited to a stable reef aquarium. Its practical appeal is as a focal coral that can be kept as an individual rather than needing a colony to make a display. Care notes below are general guidance for button scoly corals, not verified requirements for this particular named variety.

Features:

• Fleshy LPS growth form makes it a distinctive individual feature in a reef display.
• Provide a stable position with gentle to moderate water movement; avoid placing it where strong flow keeps its tissue in motion.
• Use low to moderate lighting as a general starting point, and acclimate gradually when introducing it to a new aquarium.
• A suitable diet can include small meaty marine foods offered directly to the polyp; feeding response and frequency vary between specimens.
• Leave room around the coral and monitor neighboring corals, since stinging interactions can occur in a reef aquarium.
