well, it's been 6 months since I was bitten by the Aussie Scolymia bug... I'm very thankful that I'm able to collect these guys and so far, each one seems to be pretty happy... I wanna thank the vendors and fellow reefers that helped me find these pieces and/or have sold me these pieces... it's greatly appreciated... some have asked how many Aussie scolymias I have now so I thought I'd post them all here... next project is to purchase a Canon T2i DSLR and a decent macro lens to take better shots of these guys, and ofcourse HD vids of them feeding...I hope this helps influence a few more people to collect these beauties... Enjoy!!! :D

btw, I used 3 different PnS cameras on these pics so the white balance is not all the same, unfortunately... but you get the idea what they look like... some have seen these guys in person so I'll leave it up to them to comment... any input appreciated... Thanks... :)

Marvin, what happened? They look terrible. Tell you what, bring that orange one and a few others over to my house and I'll nurse them back to health for you.

:) <jk> awesome collection! I've been able to fend off the Aus Scoly bug so far, but it has been tough. After looking at this pics, I'll need another dose of vaccine!

LoLz... the Orange one is very sweet... always wanted one since I saw the first one that came in a few months ago... I might need a vaccine to so I can put the addiction on hold for a little bit... :)

Thank you... Favorite, hmmmm... that's a tough one... each one was selected for the unique color patterns... I'll have to think about this one... which one is your favorite? ;)

Thanks... this one?

she's actually one of the bigger ones... I'm expecting her to be as big as my first one with that color pattern, which is a good 4" around (1st pic)... with a massive purple ring...

Thanks Rob... yeah, I had 13 but gave the two to my little brother... they're doing wonderful in his tank... but he wants a Rainbow one... he might just get one... ;)


I can't believe me eyes!!! Simply wonderful!!!!
Thank you... :)


Holy cow, Marvin. Awesome detail in your shots, bro.
Thanks man... hopefully, when I get the Canon T2i, pics will be better... and I really can't wait for the HD vids... :D

ah... I see... yeah, that one is one of the best I"ve seen in the Bleeding Apple/Rev Bleeding Apple combo... it has pink tips on the feeders too, which is pretty nice... it's also the biggest scolymia atm... :)
