Australian Scolymia corals are a type of large polyp stony coral that are native to the waters around Australia. They are known for their vibrant colors and unique patterns, and are highly prized by coral enthusiasts. When a Scolymia coral is said to be “bleeding”, it usually means that it is expelling its zooxanthellae, which are the symbiotic algae that live inside the coral’s tissues. This can happen for a variety of reasons, including changes in water temperature or quality, exposure to pollutants or toxins, or physical damage to the coral. The term “sour apple” is often used to describe a particular coloration of Scolymia coral, which typically features bright green and yellow hues with a hint of brown or red. This coloration can be quite striking and is highly sought after by collectors.
