Got a sweet score on a tank shut down with some premium coral. Some in good shape some needing nursing. One of those requiring nursing is a master scoly. Hopefully I can help it out but even if it doesn't make it there os a lot of nice pieces still. I think I have ID the ones in question I just wanted to get either confirmation or corrections. Either way I got lucky with this pick up.

The following is what I received from Tidal Gardens when I asked what a master scoly is:
Thanks for contacting us. A master scoly is defined by its coloration and pattern. Typically they are bleeding apples morphs with the addition of the purple "ufo" ring and sometimes additional colors. Hope this helps!
 
Does it have to have a complete UFO ring, I’m not sure but guessing it does.
 
Sorry whats the ufo ring? Been in the hobby for a while just haven't gotten into scolys
 
Ah gotchya. No ring on it. But it was in rough shape receded pretty bad with skeleton showing on the outside. Seemed to puff up the past few days so hopefully is a good sign. Any ideas on the others?
