Open/Trachy Red Brain Coral

About Open/Trachy Red Brain Coral

This red Trachyphyllia is an open brain coral with deep red to maroon tissue, often with a contrasting centre. It is a slow-growing, long-lived centrepiece for the sand bed. Avoid strong direct light, which can bleach red varieties; low to moderate light keeps the colour rich.
