Bright Neon Green Trachy (Brain Coral)
Transform Your Tank with a Living Neon Centerpiece
Looking for a coral that truly stops you mid-step? The Bright Neon Green Trachy (Trachyphyllia geoffroyi) is one of the most visually arresting large polyp stony corals available in the hobby — its intense, electric green coloration is the kind you have to see under reef lighting to fully believe. This is not a common color variant; neon green Trachyphyllia of this saturation are selectively sourced and move fast at The Coral Boutique.
Trachyphyllia are free-living LPS corals that expand dramatically throughout the day, often doubling in apparent size as their fleshy tissue inflates with water. They're deeply rewarding for aquarists at all levels — hardy enough for beginners, visually dynamic enough to anchor a serious reef tank display. Place yours on a sandy substrate in low-to-moderate flow and watch it become the centerpiece your saltwater aquarium was built around.
