The Ultimate Reef Centerpiece
Commonly known as the "Trachy" or Open Brain Coral, this Trachyphyllia geoffroyi is a showstopper for any reef aquarium. Prized by hobbyists for its massive, fleshy polyps and intricate, neon-glowing patterns, this coral is the perfect "focal point" for your sandbed. Whether under full spectrum or deep blue actinics, its colors pop with incredible intensity.
Commonly known as the "Trachy" or Open Brain Coral, this Trachyphyllia geoffroyi is a showstopper for any reef aquarium. Prized by hobbyists for its massive, fleshy polyps and intricate, neon-glowing patterns, this coral is the perfect "focal point" for your sandbed. Whether under full spectrum or deep blue actinics, its colors pop with incredible intensity.
Why We Love It:
- Insane Coloration: Features vibrant contrasting rings of color, often in neon greens, deep crimsons, and metallic purples.
- Dynamic Movement: Watch as it expands its fleshy mantle during the day and extends feeding tentacles at night.
- Hardy & Adaptable: A great choice for both intermediate and advanced reefers looking for a high-impact LPS coral.
- Sandbed King: Its unique shape is specifically evolved to sit comfortably on the substrate, filling out empty floor space in your tank.
Care Requirements:
- Skill Level: Intermediate
- Lighting: Low to Moderate (PAR 100-150). Avoid high-intensity hotspots to prevent bleaching.
- Flow: Low to Medium. Indirect, gentle flow is best to ensure the tissue can fully inflate without being pushed against its own skeleton.
- Placement: Bottom/Sandbed. Note: Do not wedge between rocks, as sharp edges can tear its delicate tissue.
- Feeding: Photosynthetic, but highly recommended to "target feed" mysis shrimp, krill, or high-quality coral pellets once a week for maximum growth and health.
Pro Tip:
To see your Trachy at its best, try feeding it about 30 minutes after the lights go out. You’ll see its feeding tentacles emerge—a fascinating look at the predatory side of this beautiful coral!
