Care & Feeding
The Scarlet Stripes Scolymia thrives in low to moderate light conditions and benefits from low to gentle water flow.

Stable water parameters, especially calcium, magnesium, and trace elements, are key to maintaining the vivid coloration and supporting skeletal development.


Optimal Parameters

  • Alkalinity (dKH): 8-12
  • Calcium (Ca): 400-450 ppm
  • Magnesium (Mg): 1250-1350 ppm
  • Nitrate (NO3): 1-10 ppm
  • Phosphate (PO4): 0.01-0.05 ppm

Placement
Place the Scarlet Stripes Scolymia on the bottom of your aquarium in a soft substrate, providing it with space to expand and display its beautiful red and blue pattern. Low to gentle water flow will help maintain its delicate tissues while accentuating its natural movement.

Bring a touch of vibrancy and sophistication to your reef with the Scarlet Stripes Scolymia, a coral that’s as bold as it is beautiful.
