(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.

Anker support comes through
Update: Anker support contacted me and provided a new unit. On this one, the video works fine, both via HDMI and DisplayPort. I'm much happier now that the unit, which I do like, works properly. There is still one video-related quirk that can be annoying, though, if you often unplug the external monitor from the hub but leave the hub connected to the computer. When I unplug the external monitor from the hub, the hub doesn't tell the computer that the monitor is no longer connected (the same thing happened with the original faulty unit). Since the external monitor is my primary monitor when connected, this leads to an irritating set of steps ending up with disconnecting the hub. I reported this issue to Anker support and they forwarded it to their engineering group. Initial review: I like the form factor and the many connection options. They all work fine EXCEPT that the video (whether DisplayPort or HDMI) keeps dropping out. The computer (MacBook Pro M1 14" running MacOS 13.0.1) thinks the external monitor is there, but nothing shows on the screen for a few seconds, then it comes back on, then off again. Anker support says to try updating the firmware, but to do that requires a Windows computer with a USB-C port. I do not have access to such a machine, so I'm stuck. Since one of the primary reasons I want a hub is to handle the video, I have to return the unit. This is a real disappointment since I otherwise have been very happy with Anker products.

Incredible Quality, Incredible Results!!
AMAZING!! I use my Samsung Z Fold with a Maono Podcast Soundboard for podcasting. Having the phone charge from the soundboard power passthrough was inadequate to keep the phone charged, and generated "noise" in the path. I got the Anker 565 USB-C hub, and routed the power and signal through the Anker hub. WOW!! My phone remains fully charged throughout the podcast, there is ZERO "noise" in the signal, and I can actually do more than ever expected! The quality of Anker products has been proven with me Over and Over with every single product I have purchased. From high-end 240w USB-C cords, to Power Banks, Power Blocks, Bluetooth Earbuds & Headphones, across the board; I have never been disappointed! I highly recommend Anker, and specifically the Anker 565 USB-C hub!!

Versatile with all the ports you’re looking for.
Compact and really expands your options. I was using one of the ports on the MacBook Pro M1 for a second display and the other for an external drive and then switching back and forth with the charger. This device does all that and only uses one of the ports. Plus there are multiple USB OLD STYLE still available. No external power appears to be necessary, although since I use the Mac power supply in the dedicated power in port I’d think there’d be no issue.

Good product, I suspect, if it works. (Also Marketing Needs Improvement)
UPDATE: Nope, it's just the hub. :( It's either defective or not a good product, which is unfortunate. The stutter issue has been resolved, but I can still not use the dock to push an image to my secondary monitor (1080p). I spent several hours this evening updating drivers for my Lenovo Thinkpad E15 Gen2 (AMD) without success. FYI: This laptop DOES support PD+DP through USB-C, something I confirmed before trying to go down the USB-C route in an attempt to replace my ancient Diamond USB-A dock. An image was never sent to my second monitor, whether connected via HDMI or DP through the hub. In all cases, the monitor IS recognized by Windows, so some information is being communicated, just not an image to the monitor. During every attempt, when the monitor was first plugged in, responsiveness in Windows would stutter, lag, and generally respond slowly to my KB+M inputs until, eventually, the laptop caught up and was OK. I am highly disappointed and am considering returning both products, but the USB-C dock is definitely returning. It would be nice, but I don't need a 100W charger. My hope of replacing my current USB-A dock is diminishing at the price point I was hoping for, so we shall see if it's up to the task of the new 2K monitor I have on the way and go from there. Original: Buyer be cautioned: The Anker 565 USB-C also needs power for itself, which is evident if you think about it, but it's not stated anywhere that I could find, and it may not dawn on you until things aren't working quite right. Lack of power could cause many issues I've read about in reviews. The issue: Mouse movement would stutter every 5-10 seconds. Though Windows recognized my HDMI monitor in Device Manager/Display settings, no image was sent to it through the Anker hub. Current theory: So, the manufacturer's 65W USB-C charger for my laptop cannot FULLY power the hub with one connected HDMI monitor, two USBs, and Ethernet through the USB-C hub. I did not test the two USB devices (Keyboard and headset) as there was little need once the stuttering began, which was immediate. I have an Anker Nano 100W arriving tomorrow, and I will update the review once I've re-tested. Suggestion: My ask to Anker would be to *estimate* the power draw of their dock and list it somewhere with many warnings, etc. If they wanted to go above and beyond and add averages for peripherals and the like, that would be amazing, but if not, I would understand, as I'm sure that information could become dated fast. A power warning would have prompted me to consider the power charging situation, and I may gone with one of their docks (About a $100 increase) instead. But now that I'm annoyed, I'll purchase a 100W charger that I can use for my work laptop and elsewhere as needed. :) They are still getting my money, but not as much. They make amazing products, but small details like this matter to me as a consumer.

Anker 11 in 1 Docking station as a Starter.
This is an entry level addition to a PC. If more ports needed then the 14 in 1 or a powered Hub.
