Double Bleeding Apple Scoly
A variant of Scolymia (Doughnut / Button Coral) (Homophyllia australis)
A premium Bleeding Apple variant showing two distinct 'bleeding' color zones radiating from the mouth, giving a richer two-tone apple effect than the standard piece.
📜 Backstory
Sold as a WYSIWYG named piece by both World Wide Corals (WWC) and Austin Aqua Farms (as 'Australian Premium Double Bleeding Apple Scolymia'). It is a hand-selected wild Australian Homophyllia australis rather than an aquacultured line — the 'Double' denotes an exceptional grade of the standard Bleeding Apple look, with two bleeding color zones. Origin is wild collection.
Keeper tips for this variant
Keep on the sandbed under softer light (around 75-125 PAR) with low alternating flow; if the second color zone starts to fade, lower the light slightly rather than increasing it, as these reds and oranges hold best under moderate lighting. Target-feed quality frozen LPS food about once a week.
