I'll be the first to say that I'm not a big scoly fan. This scoly is freakin awesome though!! Great find from a great seller!

Maybe swayed me to liking scolys just a bit.

My first SCOLY.... So I am looking for some tips.... Lighting? Flow?

Low lighting, just not directly under the Vega's, low to medium flow is ok. I also feed mine at least once a week.

Use a reef turkey baster to blow some oysterfeast and fuel mixed together onto the scoly with pumps off. I use the "Two Little Fishes Julian's Thing Coral Feeding Tube". Once it opens up give it some mysis and it will reward you by being even more inflated the next few days.

Here's what one I had a while back looks like when it's ready for the mysis
19622

Mine seem pretty happy and even have a warpaint that is splitting into two heads.

hoping to get some fauna marine LPS pellets soon. They will get some mysis & brine until then.
