Large INDONESIAN TRACHY

Trachyphyllia (Large)

Transform Your Tank with a Showpiece Open Brain Coral

Looking for a centerpiece that commands attention... The Indonesian Trachyphyllia, commonly known as the Open Brain Coral, is one of the most visually striking LPS corals available in the hobby. Its deeply folded, fleshy lobes display an extraordinary range of colors, from vivid reds and electric greens to multicolored morphs that shift under reef lighting. Large, collector-grade specimens like this one are increasingly hard to source, making this an exceptional opportunity to secure something truly special for your reef tank.

At this size, a Trachy makes an immediate, dramatic statement on the sandbed, where it belongs, nestled low and given room to fully expand. A healthy specimen will puff out dramatically during feeding, doubling or even tripling its apparent size as it extends its sweeper tentacles at night. Watching this coral thrive and grow over time is one of the most rewarding experiences in the saltwater aquarium hobby.
