Brain Coral

Brain Coral is also known as Crater Coral or Open Brain due to the inset ridges that create this coral's scalloped rim. A member of the genus Trachyphyllia, the Brain Coral is most often recognized by its luminescent glow under a medium-to-high level of actinic lighting. It will sometimes sting adjacent corals, if it can reach them. Requiring a medium water flow, it is perfectly content resting on the bottom of the home aquarium. As with most other members of Large Polyp Stonys, maintaining proper calcium and strontium levels is an important key to successful development. Any zooanthellic food designed for scallops or other filter feeders will also help ensure long-term success and overall health.
