Common name: Brain Corals
Scientific name: Trachyphylliidae
Trachyphylliidae, commonly known as Brain Corals, are a family of large-polyped stony corals known for their distinctive, maze-like patterns. They are popular in reef aquariums for their vibrant colors and relatively easy care. Members of this family, like Trachyphyllia geoffroyi, thrive in moderate lighting and water flow, and benefit from occasional feeding of meaty foods. They are symbiotic with zooxanthellae, which help in photosynthesis, making them a good choice for aquarists looking to add a splash of color and natural structure to their tanks.
