I have an sps dominant ULNS reef. Would a scoly do well in my tank? Very few zoanthids do well in my system but I am able to keep other lps like chalices and favias. Never tried softer lps like Scolymia, blastos, acans, etc.

My experience if zoos don't do good probably Scolys won't do good either. I have 9 Scolys. But acans are kinda similar and a lot cheaper. Try those and like Scolys spot feed them twice a week at least.

I had a buddy that had a very beautiful sps dominate aquarium that kept one happy for a long time until he started neglecting the whole tank! :D

IME they're tough to keep happy in an ULNS without habitual target feeding. Miss the feedings for a couple weeks and kiss it goodbye... ask how I know :squigglemouth:

Thanks for all the advice guys. From the looks of it maybe I'm not ready for scolys because I have no patience to maintain a target feeding schedule haha.
