Ultra UFO Scoly

About this coral

Ultra UFO Scoly is a collector-style Scolymia (“scoly”/button coral) LPS coral selected as a WYSIWYG showpiece for reef aquariums. In practice, it’s an eye-catching, fleshy, single-polyp coral that typically benefits from calmer placement and regular target feeding to support full polyp expansion and long-term stability in captivity.

Features:

• Collector-focused LPS coral identity: Scolymia (“scoly”/button coral). ([theunderwatergardener.com](https://theunderwatergardener.com/scolymia-care-guide/?utm_source=openai))
• Designed for low-to-moderate lighting and gentler, indirect water movement so the polyp can extend comfortably. ([poseidonsrealm.com](https://poseidonsrealm.com/coral-guide/scolymia/?utm_source=openai))
• Responds well to direct/target feeding with meaty foods (e.g., mysis), in addition to its photosynthetic nutrition. ([theunderwatergardener.com](https://theunderwatergardener.com/scolymia-care-guide/?utm_source=openai))
• Placement on a stable substrate (commonly described as a sand-bed area) helps reduce irritation from detritus and supports feeding behavior. ([poseidonsrealm.com](https://poseidonsrealm.com/coral-guide/scolymia/?utm_source=openai))
• A fitting choice for aquarists who can keep parameters stable and are comfortable spot-feeding LPS. ([coralsdepot.com](https://www.coralsdepot.com/pages/coral-care-guide/scolymia-coral?utm_source=openai))
• Fully open expansion is a practical health cue; keep flow calm and avoid strong currents that can prevent full extension. ([pawholt.com](https://pawholt.com/pets/exotic/scolymia-coral/?utm_source=openai))
