These solitary corals are prized by collectors for their incredible patterns and individual color variations, making each piece a true one-of-a-kind addition to a reef aquarium.

Scolymia corals are known for their impressive size and personality despite being a single-polyp coral. They can display intense colors under reef lighting and make excellent additions to coral gardens, nano reefs, and display aquariums. They prefer stable reef conditions with low to moderate lighting and gentle water flow.
While they receive much of their energy through photosynthesis, Mini Scolymia corals are also excellent feeders and benefit from occasional target feeding of mysis shrimp, small meaty foods, or specialized coral foods.
