I'm not even sure, the shop owner thought it was a ric LOL so I got it for $20. It's kind of a rescue but should workout. Here's some pics of it when first in tank and tonight when I gave it a pellet ( had feeders out)

That guy is really beat. Make sure algae doesn't grow on the skeleton so it can fully recover.

its not the worst ive seen, and it already seems hes been regrowing. Im planning on brushing the skeleton a bit and cleaning it off, just letting him destress a bit.

Scoly is looking a lot better. Definite tissue growth

That looks more like acanthophyllia then scolymia now.

[Mattyfelts]

well either way i like it. if it helps its about 1.5 inches in diameter?

 

[bribo12]

The bumpier flesh makes me think acanthophyllia. Scolymia is usually a pretty good circle with few bumps. Similar care for both, and it's a nice piece. So ultimately who cares haha. Just thought it may be acanthophyllia

so tomorrow i think i will be going to buy some new zoas, hopefully.

 

[Mattyfelts]

okay, just asking some advice. My red legged hermit is picking at my scoly what should i do

 

[BigRedsReefs10]

If they're picking at 1 spot it's probably a dead spot where algaes growing on the skeleton, if all over it may have gone rouge and you should probably just pull it.

naw it was one spot under the skeleton I think. oh and here's a pic of how it's healing up
