Green Scolymia Coral

Scolymia corals look very similar to and are often confused with Cynarina corals. However Scolymia do not expand their fleshy skin as much as Cynarina and have different skeletal structures. Their care is very similar however, requiring strong lighting between 3-5 watts and moderate water flow over them. They may be fed meaty foods such as brine shrimp or krill which they will direct to there mouth, normally located at the center of the coral. Scolymia are found in various colors such as green, red, blue and some colorations that blend more than one color together. These colors vary from coral to coral with the most common one being found being the green coloration. When placing in the aquarium secure coral so that they will not be knocked over which may damage the skin and cause infections.
