Very nice! Just saw these ones on the site. Any chance you can share what region your scoly's have been imported from? Their surface seems very different then some of the others I have. Not sure if its because they are not as inflated. Pic for comparison. I picked up the red and UFO ring'd one from you guys this week and am loving them! Thinking about these two (I guess 3) as well!

edit: I completely missed the scientific name on these. The ones I have on the left are scolymia-australias, and the new ones with the raised ridges are the scolymia-vitiensis. They all seem to be getting along, even with my Croc's.

The Scolymia vitiensis come in from Tonga, they do not get puffy like the Australian auatralis. Actually the name has changed to Homophyllia from Scolymia but every one still knows them as Scolys.
