The Ultra Aussie Trachyphyllia is one of the most visually striking LPS corals available to collectors — a deep-sea jewel hauled from Australian waters where the combination of vivid crimson and electric purple is rarer and more intense than anything Indo-Pacific sources typically produce. Under reef lighting, this specimen doesn't just sit on the sandbed — it commands it. Demand for Australian Trachyphyllia far outpaces supply, and Ultra-grade pieces at this color saturation are genuinely difficult to source.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a large-polyp stony coral that grows slowly and deliberately, expanding dramatically during feeding to reveal layer upon layer of fleshy tissue. Aquarists love Trachyphyllia for its personality — it visibly responds to feeding, swells with flow, and rewards attentive care with long-term growth and increasingly vivid coloration. A well-kept specimen in a stable reef tank can live for decades and only gets more impressive with age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQUICK STATS \u0026amp; CARE GUIDE\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003eOpen Brain Coral, Folded Brain Coral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurrent Size:\u003c\/strong\u003eVaries — contact us for exact sizing on available specimens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare Level:\u003c\/strong\u003eEasy to Moderate — an excellent choice for intermediate reef keepers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003eSemi-aggressive — keep clear of neighboring corals; can extend sweeper tentacles at night\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003ePhotosynthetic (Zooxanthellae) plus target feeding recommended 1–2x per week with meaty foods such as mysis shrimp, krill, or coral-specific blended foods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReef Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003eYes, with caution — provide adequate spacing from adjacent corals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Conditions:\u003c\/strong\u003eTemp 76–80°F | Salinity 1.025–1.026 | pH 8.1–8.3 | dKH 8–10 | Ca 400–450 ppm | Mg 1280–1350 ppm | Low to moderate flow | Moderate to high lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWHY BUY FROM THE CORAL BOUTIQUE?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery Trachyphyllia we ship from The Coral Boutique is ethically sourced, fully quarantined, and conditioned in our Miami facility until it is actively expanding and accepting food — so you receive a specimen that is already thriving, not just surviving.
