I like that solid red Lord too. That’s some rich color and happy corals.

It’s crazy bright under full blues!

Those are going to grow in nicely. I like the Mummy Eye looking chalice and the Prism has a nice rim on it too.

This one isn’t mine. Yet. I’m thinking of dropping some teasers tonight though. I think it’s just a beautifully different color combination I don’t remember seeing before and I can’t get enough of it!

Is that a button scoly or the big ones

Big one. Homophyllia australis. Not sure why the hobby is staying with Scolymia and not using the official new name for the Genus.

1) that’s an awesome scoly. I have only seen button scoly with colors similar to that

2) official new name what now? Lol

3) after you decide to buy or not buy that scoly can you send me a link to where it’s from? I’ll add to my routine of websites to watch. I’m always on the hunt. My sandbed collection of various donut/meat lps is coming along nicely

Got my first scoly coming Friday. I’m so excited.

Nice pick up there! That’s a striking pattern and contrast that should get better as the green becomes a more pigmented and solid color green.

Yeah I’m hoping that purple comes in more. Not sure how scoly colors work though

 

[i cant think]

Picked up this guy today! Definitely not Aussie but a “Button Scoly”

Since I have no local shops to pick up a nice one. Could anyone give me some ideas of good online vendors? I thank you in advance.

Could even be a Button Scoly - fed it last night! I actually mounted it onto the frag rocks you posted a while back - they are great!

Could be! I don’t know how to tell the difference between small scoly and button but they are completely different species!

The frag rocks are awesome I use them for many different corals! Glad you like it

because shorthand of homophyllia would be….
homos.

and that’s not kosher to say, good sir
