AA16 should be positioned the same way at home: low in the aquarium, on sand or a shaded ledge, in gentle flow, kept well away from bright, high-flow zones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe polyp is broad, flat and disc-like, sometimes with a second mouth once mature, inflating into a soft, fleshy dome when content. Its colour can run through deep red, orange and green, often blending into the \"rainbow\" or \"bloodshot\" multi-tone patterns the species is loved for. Full, even inflation signals a healthy AA16; a persistently gaping mouth suggests otherwise.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nick's Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55232757661987,"sku":"AA0177","price":150.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au\/products\/scolymia-australis-aa16-homophyllia-australis","provider":"Nicks Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
