The Lakers Scroll Coral will add a striking contrast of deep purple and vibrant yellow to your reef. This stunning Turbinaria Purple Scroll Coral is known for its unique formations, often taking the shape of a scroll, cup, or layered plate depending on its environment.
The Lakers Scroll Coral is a visually striking LPS coral with deep purple plates and yellow edges that create a photogenic, dynamic display. Each frag may form cups, scrolls, or layered plates depending on growth conditions, making it a one-of-a-kind centerpiece for your reef.
At coralSLover®, our aquaculture farm carefully cultivates each scroll coral to ensure vibrant coloration, healthy tissue, and reef-ready durability. These corals are 100% aquacultured, sustainably grown, and free from wild collection.
This strain has been part of the coralSLover® aquaculture program originally obtained for our private collection. Over nearly a decade of propagation, it has proven remarkably stable and resilient, thriving under diverse water parameters and maintaining vibrant coloration across seasonal fluctuations. It has never been wild-collected, and all colonies offered are multi-generation aquacultured.

Classification:
Common Name: Lakers Scroll Coral
Scientific Name:Turbinaria sp.
Coral Type: Large Polyp Stony Coral (LPS)
Order: Scleractinia
Family: Dendrophylliidae
Hobby Classification: Regular Type (aquacultured morph, moderately rare in the hobby)
Scientific Info: Turbinaria corals are calcifying stony corals with large fleshy polyps. They host symbiotic zooxanthellae algae, which provide energy through photosynthesis, and can also capture plankton and dissolved organics. Growth form and coloration are influenced by light, water flow, and tank conditions. Scrolls, cups, and layered plates form naturally over time as the coral grows.
Frag Sizes and Colony's Available: Multiple frag sizes to suit different reef layouts.
Placement: Mid-level to upper areas of the tank to showcase the scroll shape and vibrant color contrast.
Great For:
Beginners and experienced reef keepers seeking hardy LPS
Aquascapes needing dramatic color and texture contrast

The Yellow Polyp Turbinaria has very small polyps compared to other Large Polyp Stony corals (LPS). Other Turbinaria species may be referred to as Pagoda, Turban, Cup, Vase, Bowl, or Scroll Corals. The genus name, Turbinaria, is derived from the Greek word turbinatus (cone-shaped) because it usually grows in a conical or cup shape while living on the reef. It may also be found in the form of cups, ruffled ridges, plates, vases, or scrolls. It may grow horizontally or vertically. Although the Turbinaria Corals may be bright yellow, green, brown, gray, or cream, the Yellow Polyp Coral is generally yellow to green. A number of species may extend their polyps during the day or night while in an aquarium.
Lighting
The Lakers Scroll Coral requires moderate lighting (PAR 250-350) to maintain its color. T5's, Metal Halides, or LED's can all grow Scroll Coral when the proper PAR levels are provided. We recommend a 14-20K color spectrum for best coloration.
Water Flow
Moderate to high
Feeding
coralSLover recommends feeding scroll corals with Oyster-Feast and/or Roti-Feast. Target feeding gets the corals fed using less food while keeping your nitrates and phosphates lower.
