Scolymia

Scolymia can tolerate strong water motion and does well with indirect illumination. They are often found on steep reef slopes and walls, often oriented almost vertically with respect to the water surface. They are rather easy to keep because they are not as sensitive to injury nor are as easily killed by the stings of neighboring corals. Do not place them on sand as they are easily damaged by being buried. Feeding can be stimulated by the addition of liquid invertebrate foods, and the ideal prey size is between 100 microns and 1 cm
