Green Open Brain Coral (Trachyphyllia geoffroyi)

Description:The Trachyphyllia Brain Coral is also referred to as a Folded Brain. It is a large polyp stony (LPS) coral. It may have a flattened, folded, or figure-eight shape. T. geoffroyi is easily collected from the reef because it prefers to attach itself to a piece of shell or dead coral, and may be found washed into the shallow waters lying on the sand bed. Trachyphyllia Brain Corals fluoresce brightly under actinic lighting.
Diet Requirements:They do best in a well established reef aquarium that incorporates moderate to strong lighting with a moderate water current, along with the addition of calcium, strontium, and other trace elements to the water. Allow ample space between it and other corals, as it will sometimes sting its neighbors. It does not require additional food to maintain its health in the reef aquarium, but it will feed on micro-plankton or foods designed for filter feeding invertebrates.
