The LPS Pellet coral food by Fauna Marin sure seems to elicit a strong feeding response in this Scolymia australis. As you can see in the video above by our sponsor Cherry Corals, within less than 90 seconds of sprinkling some of Fauna Marin’s LPS pellet onto it’s oral disc the Scolymia has dilated it’s mouth, collapsed the tissue surrounding the gastrovascular cavity (GVC) forming a space to ingest the pellets and then expanded the outer mantle to seal in the tasty LPS pellet morsels. We’re not quite sure what flavor properties the Fauna Marin LPS pellet might be made from but this shiny Scolymia australis definitely got the memo.
