Help with identifying

[xdSterling03]

I bought a coral from a place that only sells coral. My dad thought it would be cool to buy this and the employee who worked there said "its easy to care for". I don't know the name because my dad is the person who bought it. Can I please have help identifying this coral? I was thinking it was a "Warpaint Scoly ".

But the Warpaint Scoly is $125 to $300 and I looked at the the receipt and said it was $35 but it didn't say the name of the coral.

Thank you


If your wondering the coral is perfectly healthy how I see it please tell me if anything is wrong with it

Welcome!
It is a Scolymia and it looks healthy. I don't know if it is a war paint, but for $35 you got a heck of a deal. They do like to eat, feed at night when the tentacles are out. Mine eat up the mysis shrimp every few days. I'll give you $40 for it :D!

I have Sally's 100% natural fish food (Krill). Is that a good food for them or do you recommend something else?

And I was looking up Scolymia and do you possibly know what type it might be?
(Australis) (Vitiensis) (Croc Island scoly)

The krill will work. I don't know how big they are, you may want to chop up a little bit. I have used the San Francisco Bay brand before, but found that Piscene Energetics and Hikari are of better quality. I know some of the corals by sight, but I will defer to someone else for the specifics of this one.

Amazing deal congrats!

 

[xdSterling03]

Yea I know I great deal! And I also feed it. I felt guilty that ever since we got it I have never fed the Scoly. And I tried the Krill chopped up small didn't eat it then tried pellets that a youtuber recommend and it ate it!

 

[xdSterling03]

Ok I was able to feed it. I watched a video and they said pellets work. I tried the krill and chopped it up small but didn't want to eat it. So I feed it 2 small pellets and it ate it! would feeding it pellets be a good thing?

 

[DED65]

Pellets are fine. They have vitamins and everything else included.
