Care Guide
Scolymia (now often classified as Homophyllia or Micromussa) is a solitary, highly collectible LPS prized for its large, fleshy disc and dramatic coloration. It does best under low, indirect lighting and gentle flow, and responds very well to occasional feeding of meaty foods.

Placement: Sandbed or lower rockwork, sheltered from direct flow.
