Collection: Trachyphyllia (Open Brain Coral)
Trachyphyllia, commonly known as Open Brain Coral, is a type of large polyp stony coral found in the reefs of the Indo-Pacific region. It is known for its unique appearance and distinctive oral disk that resembles the human brain.
Trachyphyllia corals are highly sought after by aquarium enthusiasts due to their vibrant colors, fascinating textures, and ease of care. They are available in various shades of green, yellow, orange, red, and even blue, making them an attractive addition to any reef tank.
One of the unique features of Trachyphyllia is its large oral disk, which serves as its primary feeding mechanism. This coral can extend its oral disk to capture small prey, such as plankton, and also benefits from regular feeding of meaty foods.
