Open Brain
Symphyllia valenciennesi, also known as the Symphyllia Brain Coral, is a stunning LPS (Large Polyp Stony) coral prized for its vibrant color variations, including red, green, orange, and blue hues. Its intricate, maze-like ridges give it a unique, sculpted appearance, making it a standout piece in any reef aquarium. This coral thrives in stable conditions with moderate lighting and gentle to moderate flow, which allows its polyps to expand fully without excessive stress. While generally peaceful, it can extend sweeper tentacles at night, so some spacing from other corals is recommended. Regular feedings of meaty foods or coral supplements help maintain its health and enhance its striking coloration. Hardy and relatively easy to care for, Symphyllia valenciennesi is an excellent choice for aquarists looking to add a visually stunning and low-maintenance coral to their reef.
