{"product_id":"scolymia-australis-aa18-homophyllia-australis","title":"Scolymia Australis AA18 | Homophyllia australis","description":"\u003ch2\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is AA18, a Scolymia australis presented as a single large, flat, disc-shaped polyp (occasionally a few mouths share one skeleton) that swells into a soft, fleshy dome when settled in. The species is renowned for extraordinary colour — deep red, orange, green, and the sought-after multi-tone 'rainbow' and 'bloodshot' patterns all fall within its normal range. A fully, evenly inflated polyp is the sign of a happy coral; a gaping mouth tends to mean the opposite.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDescription\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFew corals in the Australian trade are as collectible as the Scoly, and AA18 shows why: a single jewel-like polyp carrying the kind of astonishing red, orange and rainbow colouration that makes this species a genuine showpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNatural Habitat\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eHomophyllia australis grows as a solitary animal on the southern and eastern reefs of Australia, typically down on lower slopes, ledges, and soft substrates where light is weak and water movement gentle. AA18 should be positioned accordingly — low in the tank, on sand or a shaded ledge, in soft flow, and kept well away from bright, turbulent spots.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nick's Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55232739344675,"sku":"AA1195","price":295.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au\/products\/scolymia-australis-aa18-homophyllia-australis","provider":"Nicks Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
