The Warpaint Scolymia is a high-impact large polyp stony (LPS) coral known for its saturated red coloration and distinct streak-like patterning radiating from the central mouth.
This specimen displays a dense fleshy body with strong colour contrast under blue spectrum lighting. Its symmetrical form and heavy tissue structure make it an ideal centrepiece coral for minimalist or mixed reef aquariums.
Scolymia corals are hardy when kept in stable conditions and prefer gentle indirect flow to maintain full tissue expansion. Proper placement enhances colour depth and prevents tissue stress.
This coral performs best in established reef systems with consistent nutrient levels and stable parameters.

Ultra collector-grade Green Ring Master Scolymia featuring a vivid neon green ring surrounding a deep contrasting body with striking accent streaks. A rare, high-impact sand bed centrepiece for advanced reef systems.
The Uranium Rhodactis Bounce Mushroom is a striking soft coral known for its raised “bounce” vesicles and intense fluorescent green coloration.
Under blue spectrum lighting, the textured surface and bubble-like protrusions glow vividly, making it a strong focal point in mixed reef systems.
Rhodactis mushrooms are hardy and adaptable, thriving in stable reef tanks with moderate nutrients and gentle indirect flow.
Coral Type: Soft Coral (Rhodactis sp.)
Lighting: Low to Moderate
Flow: Low to Moderate, indirect
Placement: Rockwork, lower reef structure
Difficulty: Beginner to Intermediate
Reef Safe: Yes
Avoid strong direct flow to prevent vesicle deflation and tissue stress.
This Grafted Montipora is a striking SPS coral known for its contrasting coloration and dense polyp extension. Featuring a rich red base with lighter grafted patches and fluorescent polyps, it adds strong visual texture to reef aquariums.
Montipora corals are fast-growing small polyp stony (SPS) corals that thrive under stable parameters with moderate to high lighting and consistent flow. The grafted coloration makes this specimen especially desirable for collectors and SPS-dominant systems.
Coral Type: SPS (Small Polyp Stony)
Lighting: Moderate to High
Flow: Moderate to Strong, indirect
Placement: Rock structure
Difficulty: Intermediate
Reef Safe: Yes
Stable alkalinity, calcium and magnesium levels are essential for long-term growth and coloration.
The Superman Acanthophyllia, also known as Prata coral, is a premium large polyp stony (LPS) coral prized for its intense red and electric blue coloration.
This showpiece coral features a single large fleshy polyp with thick tissue folds and dramatic color contrast under reef lighting. Under blue spectrum lighting, the fluorescent tones become even more pronounced, making it a centrepiece specimen in any reef aquarium.
Acanthophyllia corals are generally hardy when placed in stable reef systems with appropriate lighting and flow.
