I picked up this scolymia today fro $20. Its a bit of a "rescue" coral but these generally go for way more around Houston. As you can see, the entire center area has pulled back or has died off. This is the first one my wife and I have purchased and we are hoping that we can "bring it back" from its current condition. I currently have it in my sump (no crawling critters to bother it) under a 50/50 18W PC bulb. The flow is pretty calm.
Any special suggestions as to how to care for it? What do they like to eat?
