The Medusa’s Eye Scoly is a mesmerizing masterpiece of the reef. With a deep violet body streaked in glowing green veins and a striking magenta core, this coral captures the hypnotic beauty of the mythical Gorgon’s gaze. Under actinic lighting, its patterns shimmer like living serpents, making it a centerpiece coral that commands attention in any aquarium.

  • Lighting:
    Moderate to low (PAR 50–150). Best color pop is under blue/actinic spectrum.

  • Flow:
    Low to moderate. Gentle currents help with feeding and health but avoid strong direct flow that can damage flesh.

  • Placement:
    Sandbed or stable rock ledge with open space. Keep away from aggressive stingers, as Scolys are peaceful.

  • Feeding:
    Photosynthetic but thrives with supplemental feeding. Target feed 1–2 times per week with mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, or coral pellets to boost growth and vibrancy.

  • Water Parameters:

    • Temp: 76–80°F (24–27°C)

    • Salinity: 1.024–1.026 SG

    • pH: 8.1–8.4

    • Alkalinity: 8–12 dKH

    • Calcium: 400–450 ppm

    • Magnesium: 1250–1350 ppm

  • Behavior:
    Peaceful coral but extends feeder tentacles at night. Leave space to prevent accidental stings.

Lighting:
Moderate to low (PAR 50–150). Brings out best fluorescent colors under blue/actinic lighting.

Flow:
Low to moderate. Gentle currents allow for feeding and full expansion without damaging delicate tissue.

Placement:
Ideal on the sandbed or stable rock platform with room to expand. Keep away from aggressive stingers.

Feeding:
Photosynthetic but thrives with supplemental feeding 1–2x per week. Offer meaty foods like mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, or coral pellets to enhance growth and color vibrancy.
