LA Lakers Scroll Coral

About this coral

LA Lakers Scroll Coral is an LPS (large polyp stony) coral offered in a named, assorted format. While the exact scientific species or morph identity is not verified here, it can generally be treated as an LPS coral—an aquarium coral group known for fleshy polyps and reliance on stable water quality. In a reef setup, it’s commonly used to add low-to-medium height, polyp-forward texture and color variation to the live-rockscape, with placement that balances light for photosynthesis and flow that avoids blasting the tissue.

Features:

• LPS coral form with prominent, large fleshy polyps for an attractive, “scroll-like” display
• Typical LPS strategy: photosynthesis-supported feeding with occasional supplemental food depending on tank conditions
• Usually benefits from moderate lighting rather than intense, direct blast lighting
• Prefers gentle-to-moderate water movement that keeps detritus from settling without fully stripping the polyps
• Works well as a centerpiece or accent when placed where polyps can extend comfortably
• More tolerant of routine reef husbandry than many delicate softies/rare SPS, but still depends on stable parameters

Specifications:

• Coral group: LPS (large polyp stony coral) (group-level guidance)
• Scientific name: UNVERIFIED
• Light (general): Moderate to bright reef lighting (avoid sudden, direct intensity changes)
• Water flow (general): Gentle to moderate, indirect/turbulent flow
• Placement (general): Rockwork where polyps can extend, not in direct flow that blows them back constantly
• Water temperature: Typically about 24–27°C (75–81°F)
• Salinity: Typically about 1.020–1.026 SG
• pH: Typically about 7.8–8.4
• Alkalinity: Typically needs stable reef alkalinity (exact target depends on your system)
