📜 Backstory
Sold by LiveAquaria as the 'Australian Scolymia Coral, Bleeding Sour Apple.' It is a wild-collected Australian Homophyllia australis color form, not a man-made line; the name distinguishes the green-dominant grade from the red Bleeding Apple. Origin is wild collection.
Keeper tips for this variant
Give it moderate light to keep the neon green popping, and a low-flow spot on the sand so the polyp can fully inflate during the day. Feed small meaty foods to keep it full and colorful.
