It seems like orange scolymia were once so rare that they were only seen once or twice a year. Sure we occasionally see scolies with a little bit of an orange streak or an orange mouth but now we’re seeing a lot more orange over a lot more of the coral. The first nearly solid orange scolymia we saw was over two years ago with a specimen from LiveAquaria that was neon orange with a green mouth. Now it seems like Cherry Corals has been buttering up their suppliers and scouts because they’ve got more than their fair share of hyper-orange Scolymia. If you like orange corals as much as we do then you should definitely be on the lookout for orange scolymia in the future.
