LF Stolymia

[codycREEF]

I'm looking to buy a scolymia either from a fellow reefer in the east bay or at one of the lfs (Neptune, Diablo, Aquatic Collection, etc.) Does anyone know if they have good colorful ones in stock somewhere?

Are you talking about Scolymia? Scolys for short? If so, you'll usually find them at all of the places you listed.

Whoops, yeah meant to say scolymia! I haven't been in a while so I wasn't sure if they have them readily available. Do you know how much they usually charge for one??

Usually will see them for AT LEAST 100$.

They're more commonly sold for 150$ to 300$.

They are a "dead-end" coral. They have only one big mouth. You can't really frag and propagate them.

The more colorful the price increases.

You'll see some beautiful scolys at Neptune Aquatics in San Jose and Aquatic Collection in Hayward. They're usually around 120 to 200$ at Cali Reef Co in fremont. I think Diablo Corals in Concord has them too.

I was hoping to find a warpaint for ~120 but that is probably a long shot. I'll have to wait for someone to offload one here I guess!

you can actually frag a scoly, if your brave enough ( not me ) but google it, you'll see stories, threads and pictures.

Not really a long shot. They are actually a lot cheaper than bleeding apples variant.

That's great to hear. I like the warpaints a lot better. I'm really looking for a good looking blue piece

@650-IS350 Yeah you can frag scolys and they'll survive. Ive even heard of people fragging bleeding apple scolys and glueing them to a fragged war paint scoly.

But as far as fragging them for propagation. Not usually something people do lol
