I got my warpaint from AquaSD. They often have scolys on their site that are drop dead gorgeous.
Calikids just added a bunch to their site too...
Mama-SCOLY-mia! Love or Hate and how do you keep them healthy?

That first one though!!!!!! dang
That seems really overpriced for some somewhat unimpressive specimens. Most of those are only 2 colors, often without an inner ring. Here's WWC's selection (which are still $$$, but in that case you're paying for a reputable seller):
Best check your LFS, CL/eBay, etc.
no, I’ve had it for a few months. But I did originally get it here on reef2reef from @noahreefer. I believe he is selling another one kinda like this.
This was the original photo of my baby that ruined my life and made me track him down so I could buy it. It’s one of my favorite corals in the tank.
Love my scolys!! I have 6 in my sandbed, all doing well. Only drawback is I'm hesitant to do a goby/shrimp combo cause I don't want to have to unbury them
Scott at lotus reef has some awesome scolys
The one I saw,I should of bought , but the photo was so saturated,I was gun shy. Looked almost the same as yours. I've never seen one like it before until now.AWESOME

It really is beautiful in person. I had to wait about a month though, because it was bleaching in a couple spots. But Noahreefer was really fantastic about it. And he sold it to me for a really awesome price. He has another one that he’s selling right now, but I liked the color on mine a bit more.
Do you have a pic or remember where that other one was??
I have 8 scolys!! 5 croc island and 3 normal large ones. My oldest (and largest) has been with me for almost a year now and the newest one was bought last week! Here’s a couple of my crocs 
I have four since I cut a double mouth off of one and cut the remainder in half. The other has remained intact. They healed nicely. They are fed pellets once a week, get everything else out of water column. They are in pretty good flow, still nice and puffy.
Candy corals
I actually fragged a war paint few years ago and they both made it. Took a while to get back into a full circle once it did I fragged it again and traded for other corals.
I have a frag of one and it's been pretty intense making sure it's doing well everyday, it's getting bigger and bigger as the months go by. So some miracles do happen
Never owned one, maybe in the future, however, I do like looking at my sand bed also. On another note, spending $200+ on a named coral is insane. Or to find that the .0003 x .0003 inch $60 frag that you just purchased with a cool name like (ultra, unicorn, rare, corn, fox....) has three different names. ;VomitIf I can find a $10-$60 priced one, I might try it. I fully understand $200+ on colonies, however, spending $200+ on an acro nub or a pinky nail size chalice, or $30 for one pulp Zoa is taxing. ;Drowning, of topic just my .02$

my dude originally wanted $500 for mine. I paid $350 (I think. Around there)
sooooooo. If you don’t buy that Scoly I will. Jesus that one is BEAUTIFUL AND AN AMAZING PRICE HOLY FUUUU
The only other one I saw that looked even remotely like mine was being sold on R2R for $750.
additionally, my guy is selling his last rainbow for $900. Soooooooo $180 is an amazing price.

Yes, not my picture because I only have an iPhone 10. But here is a small video which does a decent job of what it really looks like.
