Scolymia australis (Red) (frag)

Scolymia australis, commonly known as the Scoly Coral, is a highly sought-after LPS coral prized for its vivid coloration and large, fleshy polyp. This solitary coral forms a round, dome-shaped skeleton with a soft mantle that can display intense shades of red, green, orange, blue, and purple, often with striking fluorescent patterns. Its bold colors and dramatic appearance make it a standout centerpiece in reef aquariums.
