Ultra SP trachy

Ultra SP Trachyphyllia (Brain Coral)

Transform Your Tank with a Living Centerpiece Worth Obsessing Over

Looking for a show-stopping LPS coral that turns heads... The Ultra SP Trachyphyllia is exactly that — a collector-grade brain coral with fluorescent greens, electric blues, and deep reds radiating from a single colony in patterns that look almost airbrushed. "Ultra" and "SP" designations are reserved for the most visually exceptional specimens in the hobby, and this one earns both. Rare at this grade and impossible to replicate, no two are ever identical.

Trachyphyllia are large-polyp stony corals known for dramatic nightly expansion — this specimen will open wide and display full, fleshy tissue that can nearly double its skeletal footprint under the right conditions. It's a rewarding addition for any serious reef tank enthusiast: low-aggression, slow-growing, and deeply satisfying to watch thrive. Target feeding with meaty foods a few times per week brings out its best coloration and accelerates healthy growth.
