Aussie Inferno Button Scoly

About this coral

Aussie Inferno Button Scoly is a button-shaped LPS coral prized as a striking centerpiece. In stores it’s typically sold under a “scoly” grouping, meaning the display value comes from its fleshy, textured form and its showy coloration, while day-to-day success depends on providing stable reef conditions and appropriate light and flow for button-style scoly corals.

Features:

• Fleshy, button-like LPS form that works well as a focal point in mixed reef aquariums
• Generally prefers moderate lighting so its tissue remains healthy and expanded
• Benefits from gentle, indirect-to-moderate water movement (enough to keep the surface clear, not so strong that it gapes or irritates tissue)
• Often performs best when placed on stable rock where it can remain undisturbed
• Typically benefits from supplemental feedings (many scoly-style LPS accept meaty foods) in addition to relying on light-driven needs
• A good choice for hobbyists who enjoy feeding and carefully controlling flow around individual corals
• Like many LPS, tends to do best with stable, well-oxygenated saltwater and consistent maintenance
