Frozen Volcano Scoly
A variant of Scolymia (Doughnut / Button Coral) (Homophyllia australis)
A 'volcano red' body with a glowing fluorescent blue center, the icy-blue mouth contrasting against the hot red disc.
📜 Backstory
Listed as a named 'Frozen Volcano' (also spelled 'Frozen Vulcano') Scolymia by the German vendor Whitecorals among their Aussie Scolymia offerings. It is a wild-collected Australian Homophyllia australis color form — the name is a vendor descriptor for the red-body / blue-center pattern rather than an aquacultured line. Origin is wild collection; the trade name's use beyond this vendor is limited.
Keeper tips for this variant
Sandbed placement under moderate light helps the fluorescent blue center stay bright while protecting the red tissue from bleaching; keep flow low so the polyp inflates over the disc. Feed meaty foods weekly.
