Genus

Common name: Flat Brain Coral

Scientific name: Moseleya

Moseleya is a genus of stony corals in the family Merulinidae, commonly known as Flat Brain Coral due to its distinctive morphology. These corals are characterized by their flat, plate-like structures and vibrant colors, often found in shades of green, blue, and purple. They are a popular choice among reef aquarium enthusiasts for their striking appearance and relatively easy care requirements. Moseleya corals prefer moderate lighting and water flow, and they benefit from supplemental feeding of planktonic foods. They are known to be semi-aggressive, so adequate spacing between corals is necessary to prevent competition for space and resources.
