Are scolys flat on the bottom?

[Lyss]

This is maybe a dumb Q, but I’ve never had one, can’t find any images anywhere of anything other than top down, and am looking to get one for a specific spot on my rocks…

Are they typically flat on the bottom and easily glued to a rock?

Flat-ish.

Flat-ish.

Flat-ish, like would be relatively easy to glue down to this circled spot, and would lay fairly flat there?

I thought of making this post b/c that trachy on the sand is like a cone shape and I was not expecting that at all.

I recently got rid of my few SPS frags b/c the blenny was eating them, turned down my lights, and went all softies w/a few LPS showpieces. Pardon the mess in that photo (lol) -- I'm battling an explosion of ulva, and I also have yet to glue a lot of those corals littering the sand into place on the rocks.

Would lay flat.

they can be flat or lay at an angle. i currently have 3 scoly's. 1 is flat, the other two angled towards the front glass.

I think that's prob fine -- as long as I wouldn't end up surprised w/a cone-shape skeleton like the trachy came in!
