Aussie Bleeding Apple Scolymia australis 

Collector-Grade Description

The Aussie Bleeding Apple Scolymia is a true masterpiece of aquatic coloration, instantly recognizable by its dazzling, two-tone pattern. Hailing from the pristine reefs of Australia, this solitary LPS coral is the quintessential centerpiece for any high-end reef tank.

This specimen showcases the classic, highly-prized morph:

• Body: A dense, glowing field of fluorescent neon-green tissue.

• Bleeding Stripes: Dramatic, thin radial bands of fiery orange to crimson-red that appear to "bleed" or stripe outward from the central mouth.

Its circular, fleshy disc expands gorgeously on the sandbed, creating a commanding focal point with its intense color saturation and smooth, fleshy texture. As a non-colonial, solitary coral, this Scolymia is a perfect investment piece that retains its vibrant colors in a stable environment.

Care Requirements & Placement

Scolymia corals are known for their hardiness and are often considered a beginner-friendly LPS, provided their basic needs for light and feeding are met.

The Curator's Note: Scolymia are voracious eaters. Target feeding not only enhances growth and vitality but is key to maintaining the rich pigmentation of these sought-after Australian morphs.
