Insanely bright Scoly!

[noahreefer]

Hey everyone,

I have this extremely bright scoly that I am looking to sell. It is orange with a yellow ring with hints of purple and green splattered on it. This will be the brightest coral in your tank. These pics do not do the scoly justice. The 3rd picture is with a quarter for size when I first acclimated the piece. 600$ local pickup in so cal! pm me with any questions.

Forgot to mention there’s that purple scoly attached to that rock that is part of the deal

I need help. Are you sure it’s a Scoly?
I don’t want to de-rail this but it doesn’t look like a truly Scoly, more like a Mushroom.
Please help me out on this! Any more photos?

Yep it’s a scoly. More specifically a Tonga scoly which is why it looks different. The giveaway is the skeleton that you can see around the mouth. When I first saw this piece I had to do a double take because it looked like a mushroom so I don’t blame you.

First ive hurd of a tonga scoly. Is tgis as rare as the 600 price implies?

I am not sure how rare the tonga scolys are I am basing the price off of the pure brightness of it.

I’m not going to lie, I had to google this, thank you for the clarification though!!!
I do believe $600 might be mushing for this, any way you can provide better images?

I can get more pictures when my lights turn on

Here are some quickly taken pics just as my lights turned on. The scoly wasnt fully puffed up when I took the pics.
