Scoly skeleton question

[Brokecoloadoreefer]

This scoly is at one of my LFS stores and my wife feel in love with it. I’m primarily a stick guy and don’t know what’s healthy and what’s not healthy for these animals. The tissue looks great but there is some skeleton showing below the tissue on the edge. The owner says it’s normal. I just want to be sure.

the flesh looks pretty healthy. likely recovered from an injury. I had a scoly that was almost completely gone, and it came back to 100% healthy in a few months. I
If it were me, I'd purchase it. just do your research on feeding and placement!

Yea I am concerned with the flow and lighting of my tank. I appreciate the feed back

They don’t like high flow. I have some in SPS/LPS tank.

200 par on the floor of the tank in front of a rock to block the current ?

thanks !

Yes, mine are getting the same par. Watch the flow, you’ll know if it’s too much.

How do the act with too much flow? It’s definitely blowing a bit where I have it and it’s just about the lowest flow area I can find. But he’s swollen up with feeders out this morning.

Sounds like he’s fine. Nice find! Feed at night with the flow off to help speed up his recovery, I’ve gotten a couple nice scolys with tissue loss around the edge and they recovered. If the flow is too much they like collapse

They won’t be inflated, will look collapsed on the areas getting too much flow. You definitely don’t want ripped tissue from the skeleton.
