My First Scoly! CB StarDust

Very nice
 
Beauty!
 
I just got my first scoly the other day and I love them when the blues are on they are awesome
 
I got one of my scoly as my first coral and TBH, they are kinda boring after a while cuz they don't get bigger, they don't grow new heads, they just open up show some tenticles, close up and turn into a ball when you feed them so fauna pellets, thats it. I guess thats why I am growing into sps more and more, the shape they take when they grow is amazing and suprising.

I have SPS growing like crazy and LPS doing well. As for Scoly's, they do grow bigger and can eventually split.
 
for them to grow, do you have to attach them to a bigger base rock? mine stay the same size maybe due to theres nothing to grow on cuz I leave them on the sandbed?

I also have them on the sand as they do better on there. I have seen tiny Scolymia's and then I have seen huge one's. Of course it depends on lighting, parameters, and feeding.

You can put it on a rock but I prefer them in the sand :)
