Open Brain Coral
Transform Your Tank with Living Art in Every Polyp
Looking for a showstopping centerpiece coral? The Ultra Trachyphyllia — commonly known as the Open Brain Coral — is one of the most visually striking LPS corals in the hobby. With vivid, flowing color morphs ranging from electric greens and fiery reds to deep blues and brilliant multicolor patterns, no two Ultra grades are ever alike. This is a collector-tier specimen that commands attention the moment it hits your reef tank.
Open Brain Corals are medium-growing, fleshy LPS corals that expand dramatically under proper conditions, often doubling in apparent size during feeding or when fully relaxed and content. They're a rewarding species for aquarists of all experience levels — responsive to target feeding, visually expressive, and deeply satisfying to watch thrive over time. Placed on the sandbed in a low-to-moderate flow zone, this specimen will become the crown jewel of your saltwater aquarium.
