Do you need to feed Scolymia?
The Scoly coral has relatively large, fleshy polyps and will do best if you feed them 2-3 times each week. Target feeding is the best method.
How do you take care of Scolymia?
Scolymia do best on the sandbed under lower lighting conditions. They can also be kept on lower rock work but you should keep them on flat surfaces so that they don't fall over. Its best to give it room away from other LPS corals that may sting it.
What should I feed my Scolly?
In the mean time if you don't have any coral pellets, frozen foods like mysis would work great for the scoly as well. I would place an order from some coral specific pellets though as they are just much easier to feed consistently (i.e. at least 2 times a week).
How fast do Scolymia grow?
They grow pretty slow, for sure. I've had a warpaint scoli in my 22g nano for about 2 years. It's grown from a 2 inch circle to maybe a 3 inch circle...
Where do you put Scolymia?
Most reef keepers will choose a place on the bottom of the tank for their Scolymia corals. Through their symbiotic relationship with a photosynthetic algae, known as zooxanthellae, they receive many of their nutrients.
Can Scolymia touch each other?
they will be fine touching each other if you have to. All corals should be given their own space, but it will not harm them to touch each other.
Are Scolys hard to keep?
Scolys are fairly easy to keep. They prefer low light and low flow areas.

How much light do hammer corals need?
about 80-120 PARHammer corals only require a moderate amount of light for photosynthesis and can grow well in the intermediate regions of your tank. That translates to about 80-120 PAR, as measured by a PAR meter, a tool that measures the photosynthetic quality of light.
Can I dip a Scoly coral?
Dowtish said: ALL corals should be dipped. You can use Revive or Coral Rx on a scoly. You can even use Bayer if you want.
Do Scoly corals split?
A scoly can be fragged in half, or even in 1/4's or 1/3s, etc. You are looking at a long recovery time as they are slow growers. The slow growth, however, is the skeletal growth. The flesh heals quite quickly.
Are LPS corals easy to keep?
Blastomussa wellsi. Blastos are peaceful corals that won't attack their neighbors, and are easy to care for, which makes them perfect as a beginner LPS coral. Their preferred placement is middle of the tank or lower (bottom).

How do you care for Acans?
The best placement for an Acan coral is in a location with moderate water flow & light intensity, six inches or farther away from neighboring corals. Too much water flow or light will damage the coral. Acans will damage other corals closer than 6-inches.
