The Aussie Bleeding Apple Scolymia is one of the most sought-after single-polyp corals in the reef hobby — and for good reason. Harvested from Australian waters under strict collection quotas, its deep crimson base bleeds outward into electric orange and cream, creating a high-contrast pattern that looks almost airbrushed. No two are identical, and availability is always limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScolymia australis grows slowly and stays compact, making it ideal for prominent placement on open sandbed or low rockwork where it can fully expand its fleshy polyp. Despite its dramatic appearance, it has real personality — feeding visibly on meaty foods and inflating to impressive size under stable, moderate-light conditions. This is the kind of specimen long-term reef keepers come back to acquire again and again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQUICK STATS \u0026amp; CARE GUIDE\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003eAussie Bleeding Apple Scolymia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurrent Size:\u003c\/strong\u003eApprox. 2–4 inches (single polyp; contact us for exact sizing)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare Level:\u003c\/strong\u003eModerate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003eSemi-aggressive (keep clear of neighboring corals; has sweeper tentacles)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003eTarget feed 1–2x per week with mysis shrimp, chopped silversides, or LPS pellets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReef Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003eYes, with caution — provide adequate spacing from adjacent corals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Conditions:\u003c\/strong\u003eTemp 76–79°F | Salinity 1.025–1.026 | pH 8.1–8.3 | Alk 8–9 dKH | Calc 400–450 ppm | Mag 1250–1350 ppm | Low to moderate flow | Low to moderate lighting (50–150 PAR)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWHY BUY FROM THE CORAL BOUTIQUE?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery Aussie Bleeding Apple Scoly we offer is ethically sourced through licensed Australian exporters, fully quarantined, and conditioned in our Miami facility until it is visibly healthy, expanded, and actively accepting target feedings before it ships.
