Open Brain Coral
Transform Your Tank with a Living Masterpiece of Color
Looking for a showstopping centerpiece coral... The Ultra Trachyphyllia is one of the most visually striking LPS corals available to serious reef keepers. Known for its wild, swirling patterns and intensely saturated coloration — ranging from deep reds and electric greens to vivid blues and bicolor combos — no two specimens are identical. This is the kind of coral that stops visitors mid-sentence and has fellow hobbyists asking questions.
The Open Brain is a rewarding, tactile coral that actively inflates throughout the day, sometimes doubling in apparent size as it extends its fleshy lobes. Placement on the sandbed allows it to fully express its natural growth form, and its moderate feeding response — visibly reacting to meaty foods — makes every feeding session genuinely satisfying. This is an ideal upgrade for the intermediate aquarist ready to keep something truly special.
