One of my favorite kinds of corals I see on here are scolys. I love the way they look, and their appearance in any reef tank. I am wondering what has your experience been like with them! Curious to see what everyone says!

The first time I did a Scoly it didn't work out so well for me. Since then, I've learned about amino acids, trace elements and actually feeding them. I currently have 4 Scoly's and they all seem to be doing well, I plan on moving them to a slightly shadier portion of the tank. Personally I love them but I have a rule of thumb with all corals, if "Master" is in the name I"m not interested in buying it. They are beautiful just too expensive for me to take the chance with.

Sclolys are fairly simple. Just make sure you feed them at least every 2 weeks with something meaty like a piece of shrimp. If you dont feed them they will slowly die.
Mine liked high light over 200 par.
