LPS Coral
Aussie War Paint Scolymia.
A prized Australian 'scoly' — a single fleshy disc that can blaze with war-paint reds, greens, and oranges. A slow-growing LPS that wants low-to-moderate light and gentle flow on the sand bed; feed it now and then and it'll color up into a real collector's piece.

Good tank mates
This is a single, solitary LPS coral rather than a fish, and it does best with its own footprint of space on the sand or rockwork because it can extend stinging sweeper tentacles at night. It coexists with fish and most cleanup-crew invertebrates, but keep other corals from growing into contact with it. Ask the staff if you want help placing it safely among other corals.
Good to know
Often called a scoly, this Australian disc coral comes in wildly painted color patterns and is a single large polyp rather than a colony of many small ones.
Stock and individual temperament vary — call (814) 456-9445 for pairing advice before you buy.
