Bleeding Apple Scoly Coral

Bleeding Apple Scoly Coral - Care Requirements

Bleeding Apple Scoly Coral is a fleshy large-polyp stony coral with a solitary scoly form. This WYSIWYG Bleeding Apple Scoly Coral is an LPS coral suited to a carefully chosen low-area placement where its fleshy tissue can remain protected from abrasion and excessive flow.

This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Low to moderate lighting
• Flow: Low to moderate indirect flow
• Placement: Sand bed or protected lower reef area
• Temperament: Semi-aggressive
• Care Level: Moderate

Lighting

Provide low to moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually to the intended intensity and observe the coral’s response rather than moving it frequently.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle movement around the coral helps keep debris from settling without exposing its fleshy tissue to direct current.

Placement

Place it on the sand bed or in a protected lower reef area. Choose a stable, nonabrasive surface away from sharp rock and avoid locations where it can shift.

Temperament

Allow generous space from neighboring corals because this coral is semi-aggressive. Keep its fleshy tissue clear of nearby corals and avoid contact as it settles into its placement.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional appropriately sized meaty foods may be offered when practical, while avoiding excess food or disturbance to the tissue.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions during acclimation and make changes gradually. Check that the coral remains securely positioned, free of sharp contact, and protected from direct flow. Watch for debris accumulation and adjust surrounding flow gently if needed.

A stable, protected placement supports long-term care of this fleshy LPS coral.
