Brain Coral

The Trachyphyllia Brain Coral, often simply called a 'Trachy' or Open Brain Coral, is a stunning, free-living LPS coral that features deep, fascinating ridges and valleys resembling a human brain. They boast incredibly vibrant, multi-colored neon patterns. In the wild, they are found dwelling on sandy substrates rather than attached to rocks. Therefore, in the marine aquarium, they absolutely must be placed flat on the sand bed with low-to-moderate flow and moderate lighting; placing them on sharp rocks can easily tear their delicate flesh. They eagerly accept large meaty meals, such as chopped shrimp or krill, directly into their mouths.
