Trachyphyllia geoffroyi
LPS coral with brain-like skeletal ridges. Vivid reds, greens, and purples. Relatively easy to keep. Extends large feeding tentacles at night.
Brain corals are large-polyped stony corals whose surfaces bear intricate maze-like ridges and valleys resembling a human brain, belonging primarily to the families Faviidae and Merulinidae. Distributed across Indo-Pacific and Atlantic reefs, individual colonies grow extremely slowly and can live for centuries. Coloration is typically brown, green, or yellow, with fluorescent green specimens being particularly prized. In aquaria, they thrive under moderate lighting (150–250 PAR) with gentle indirect flow; strong direct light or current causes bleaching. They extend sweeper tentacles to sting neighboring corals, so adequate spacing within the tank is essential.
