Scolymia Coral Collection
Premium Scolymia Donut Corals for Reef Tanks in Australia
The Scolymia Coral Collection features high-grade Scolymia australis and related Scolymia species, prized as some of the most colourful and desirable LPS corals for sale Australia-wide. Known for their compact “donut” shape, intense fluorescence, and solid fleshy structure, Scolymia corals are a premium choice for reef tank enthusiasts seeking standout centrepieces. Each coral is WYSIWYG and selected for colour, health, and long-term aquarium stability.
Ultra-Vibrant Colouration and Premium LPS Presence
Scolymia corals are famous for their intense colour profiles, including neon greens, deep reds, electric oranges, and multi-tone rainbow patterns. Under quality reef lighting, they display exceptional fluorescence that makes them one of the most visually rewarding LPS corals in any saltwater aquarium. Their slow growth and compact form make them ideal for high-impact aquascaping.
Ideal for Stable and Mature Reef Aquarium Systems
Scolymia corals thrive in low flow, stable reef environments with consistent calcium, alkalinity, and nutrient control. They are best suited for intermediate to advanced reef keepers managing mature saltwater aquarium systems. When placed with adequate spacing from other LPS corals, they perform strongly and maintain long-term health and vibrancy.
Express Shipping & WYSIWYG Quality Assurance
All Scolymia corals for sale Australia-wide are shipped via express overnight delivery with temperature-controlled packaging. Each coral is carefully inspected for tissue expansion, colour intensity, and overall health prior to dispatch, ensuring premium WYSIWYG quality for your reef tank.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
please follow the path for success!
-
Scolymia are often placed in mid-to-high light zones to enhance colour, but they actually prefer low to moderate lighting.
Too much light can lead to:
bleaching or fading colour
reduced inflation and “tight” tissue
long-term stress and poor feeding response
They generally thrive best on the sand bed with stable, indirect light and gradual acclimation.
-
A common mistake is putting Scolymia in areas with too much movement to “keep it clean.”
This can cause:
poor expansion and deflation
difficulty capturing food
tissue irritation over time
They perform best in gentle, indirect flow where detritus doesn’t settle heavily but the coral isn’t being blasted.
-
Scolymia respond very well to feeding, but many hobbyists either:
don’t feed them at all, or
overfeed large chunks that foul the water or sit on tissue
Both can lead to problems like:
nutrient spikes in smaller systems
tissue recession if food is left to decay
reduced long-term growth consistency
They do best with small, regular feedings of meaty foods or fine particulate coral nutrition.
