Description
This ultra-grade Scoly (Homophyllia australis) features a breathtaking display of deep blood-red and volcanic orange radiating outward from a dramatic purple-toned center, with rich color gradients that shift and intensify under blue and actinic lighting. The classic Scolymia starburst pattern is on full display here — bold, saturated, and absolutely commanding in any reef setting.
Scolymia are widely regarded as the crown jewels of the LPS world, and this one earns that title without question. A large, fully mature single polyp specimen with exceptional color depth and a commanding presence — the kind of piece that anchors an entire reef build and never stops turning heads. Easy to keep, forgiving of moderate conditions, and stunning under any reef lighting — the Scoly is the perfect centerpiece for both beginner and experienced reefers alike.
