Common name: Maze Coral
Scientific name: Meandrinidae
Meandrinidae, commonly known as Maze or Brain Corals, are a family of stony corals known for their intricate, maze-like patterns. These corals are found in the Atlantic Ocean and are popular in the reefkeeping hobby for their hardiness and unique appearance. They thrive in moderate lighting and water flow, and are symbiotic with zooxanthellae, which help them with photosynthesis. They are generally peaceful but need space to grow, as they can shade or overgrow neighboring corals.
