Brain Coral - Trachyphyllia geoffroyi

The Brain Coral is a favorite among reef aquarium enthusiasts, known for its resilience and suitability for beginners. These corals are available in a wide array of colors, including vibrant reds and metallic greens. They thrive in aquariums with moderate water flow and lighting, adapting well to both metal halide and LED lights. For optimal growth, place them at the bottom of the tank to avoid intense light and strong currents. Ensure there's enough space between Brain Corals and other corals to prevent stinging. They primarily feed from the water column, requiring minimal additional feeding. Maintaining proper calcium and trace element levels will support their health. When purchasing, carefully select your desired color from the options provided.
