Red Brain Coral

About Red Brain Coral

A red brain coral makes a bold contrast to the greens that dominate most reef tanks. It is a fleshy, large-polyp stony coral that sits low in the aquarium and inflates during the day. It tolerates modest lighting and takes meaty foods at night when its tentacles extend.

Red Brain Coral care at a glance

• Lighting: Low to moderate – 75 to 150 PAR
• Water flow: Low to moderate, indirect flow
• Placement: Sand bed or lower rockwork, away from direct pump output
• Feeding: Target feed mysis, brine shrimp or LPS pellets once or twice a week after lights out
• Care level: Easy to moderate

For long-term health keep the water stable: 24 to 26°C, salinity 1.025, alkalinity 8 to 11 dKH, calcium 400 to 450 ppm and magnesium around 1,300 ppm. Start new arrivals lower in the tank and move them up over a couple of weeks so they adjust to your lighting.
