Open Brain Corals of the Genus Trachyphyllia are some of the most colorful brains available in the reef keeping hobby. In the past, these brain corals were classified in two Genera, Trachyphyllia and Wellsophyllia but were since combined into a single Genus. They are a hardy large polyp stony coral that prefer subdued lighting and moderate flow. They can be fed chunky bits of sea food and grow to impressive sizes once established.
We make it a point to provide WYSIWYG Trachy specimens for sale whenever possible because each coral has a very unique appearance. Check back often to see if we have more available for sale online because we are always on the lookout for rare color morphs and interesting patterns.
