These single-polyp corals make a striking focal point in any reef system, often chosen for their unique patterns and relatively robust nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis specimen of Gold \u0026amp; Green Scolymia displays a captivating blend of a rich gold centre with a contrasting green rim. The coral typically grows as a circular or oval disc, and its large, fleshy polyp expands to cover its skeletal base, revealing intricate patterns and a textured surface. This piece measures approximately 5cm, making it a good size to appreciate its individual beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScolymia thrive under moderate lighting, ideally between 75-150 PAR, and prefer low to moderate indirect flow to keep detritus from settling without irritating the polyp. They should be placed securely on the sand bed or a lower rock shelf, ensuring enough space as they can be aggressive towards neighbouring corals. Regular feeding with meaty foods such as mysis, brine shrimp, or specialized coral foods, once or twice a week, is beneficial. Maintain stable water parameters: Calcium 400-440 ppm, Alkalinity 8-10 dKH, and Magnesium 1300-1400 ppm. Acclimation should be gradual, particularly to new lighting conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGold \u0026amp; Green Scolymia can add a luxurious touch to a mixed reef, complementing other corals without overpowering them, yet remaining distinct enough to draw the eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a WYSIWYG item, so you'll receive the exact specimen pictured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that colours can look slightly different in person than in photos, depending on your lighting and screen, and the size given is an approximate guide measured at the time of listing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eastern Marine Aquariums","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50224954966071,"sku":"EMA-LPS-20260924-Y7LX","price":300.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1849\/1739\/files\/01f8280f-0bfd-4c13-853f-9a7cdb90d904-_MG_5079.png?v=1790282653","url":"https:\/\/easternmarineaquariums.co.nz\/products\/gold-green-scolymia","provider":"EasternMarine Aquariums","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
