(Also known as Mini Scoly, Button Coral, or Disc Coral)

Overview

The Nano Button Scoly (Scolymia sp.) is a compact, vividly coloured large-polyp stony (LPS) coral, highly prized for its brilliant hues and symmetrical disc-like shape. Often displaying vibrant combinations of red, green, orange, and blue, this coral brings exceptional colour contrast and visual appeal to reef aquariums — even in small spaces. Its fleshy, button-sized body and central feeding mouth give it a bold presence, while its peaceful nature and moderate care level make it a popular choice for both nano and full-sized reef systems.

Origin

Native to the Indo-Pacific region, including the Coral Sea, Great Barrier Reef, Indonesia, and Fiji. Found on sandy reef slopes and lagoon floors, where it rests on substrate or among rubble in low to moderate light and gentle flow.

Feeding

The Nano Button Scoly is photosynthetic, housing zooxanthellae that provide most of its nutritional needs. However, regular target feeding enhances colour and growth. Feed 2–3 times per week with:

  • Mysis shrimp or finely chopped seafood
  • Marine plankton or LPS coral foods
  • Enriched brine shrimp or coral pellets

Feed when feeding tentacles are visible (usually at night or after lights dim).

Lighting

Low to moderate lighting. Too much light can cause colour fading or tissue recession. Provide diffused illumination from LED, T5, or hybrid systems.

  • PAR range: 75–150 ¬µmol/m¬≤/s
  • Acclimate slowly to new lighting conditions to avoid bleaching.
  • Under blue-spectrum lighting, colour pigments intensify dramatically, producing neon fluorescence.
Water Flow

Low to moderate, indirect flow. Gentle, variable currents help keep the coral clean and allow full polyp expansion. Avoid direct jets of flow that can cause the fleshy tissue to retract or tear.

Placement
  • Place on the substrate or a stable rock ledge with gentle flow and diffused light.
  • Ensure a flat, secure surface — the coral expands outward and should not tip or shift.
  • Provide 10–15 cm (4–6 inches) of space from other corals to prevent contact with sweeper tentacles or aggressive neighbours.
Tank Mates

Reef safe. Compatible with:

  • Peaceful reef fish (gobies, blennies, tangs, clownfish, etc.)
  • Snails, hermit crabs, shrimp, and starfish
  • Other non-aggressive LPS and soft corals

Avoid:

  • Large angelfish or butterflyfish (may nip at fleshy tissue)
  • Aggressive stinging corals (e.g., Torch, Hammer, Galaxea) nearby
  • Crabs or shrimp that may climb or irritate the coral
Aggression

Peaceful.Scolymia corals do not possess long sweeper tentacles but can release mild toxins if crowded. Maintain moderate spacing to prevent tissue damage or chemical stress.

Experience Level

Beginner to intermediate. The Nano Button Scoly is hardy and easy to maintain with stable water conditions. Ideal for smaller reef systems, coral gardens, or collectors looking for a compact, colourful display coral.

Water Parameters
  • Temperature: 24–27°C (75–81°F)
  • pH: 8.1–8.4
  • Salinity: 1.024–1.026 SG
  • Alkalinity (dKH): 8–12
  • Calcium: 400–450 ppm
  • Magnesium: 1250–1350 ppm
  • Nitrate: <10 ppm
  • Phosphate: <0.03 ppm
  • Tank Size: Minimum 40 litres (10 gallons); larger tanks preferred for long-term stability

Stable alkalinity and calcium levels are essential for healthy skeletal development and tissue thickness.

Reef Compatibility

Fully reef safe. The Nano Button Scoly is peaceful, vividly coloured, and compact — making it perfect for nano reefs, mixed LPS systems, and collector displays. With its gentle care requirements and hypnotic fluorescence, it adds a jewel-like focal point to any aquarium.




Interesting Fact

Unlike larger Scolymia species that can exceed 10 cm in diameter, “Nano” or “Button” Scolys are naturally small, often remaining under 5 cm across — allowing aquarists to keep multiple vibrant morphs together in small reef displays.

Awesome, but not the best squeakers.
Color: Purple
I bought the orange gecko for my 5-month-old Corgi puppy. He absolutely loves it. He came up with a "game" (sort of) where if I pick it up and start squeaking one of the ends/squeakers really quickly over and over, he'll grab the other end/squeaker and start doing the same thing with me. It was really cute until one of the squeakers stopped working about a week after I bought it... but I guess the toy wasn't too expensive, and he doesn't really seem to mind that one of the squeakers doesn't work anymore. I might buy another next time I do an Amazon order (so I can get the free shipping) and see if it lasts a little longer.

Great Toy For a Great Price
Color: Purple
My Aussie loves toys and plays with them as though she is a small child. She has a basket and will go to the basket and dig through it until she finds what she is looking for. Lately she has been using the bungee gecko as her toy of choice. She gets bored easily and will rip the stuffing out of most toys, the fact that this one has lasted 6 weeks or so is impressive with no rips, holes or missing limbs. Her favorite way to play is to come over to me and nudge me to play tug of war and we have broke many toys this way but so far we can play tug a war several minutes at a time and the gecko is still in one piece. For the price which is considerable less than some of her other toys I have already ordered a couple of replacements for the future. This is a great well built dog toy that has has a lot of give and can be stretched without ripping.

No longer as durable
Color: Purple
I have one of these that has made it through 2 dogs but now the bungee is stretched out. It's been such a well loved toy I recently got another one. They've changed the plush fabric. The old one was indestructible. This new one is much thinner and easily torn. I wish they would go back to the old plush fabric.

Great Toy!
Color: Orange
This has been a great toy for our 11 week old German Shepherd. She absolutely loves it. I can get out all of her toys and lay them out with the exception of her "Lizzy" and she will immediately go to her toy bin and get it herself. Needless to say it is her favorite toy. She has had it a week now and she plays with it a lot, chewing and squeaking. It's a pretty amazing toy to have held up this long already and to date shows no sign of wear or damage. Lizzy just keeps going and going.
