Corals

Lobophyllia, also known as Brain Coral or Open Brain Coral, is one of the most popular LPS corals (Large Polyp Stony Corals) in marine aquaristics. With its fleshy polyps, vivid colors, and brain-like patterns, it creates stunning accents in any reef aquarium. Its hardy nature and relatively easy care requirements make it an ideal choice for both beginners and experienced aquarists.
Appearance and Features
Lobophyllia is characterized by its fleshy polyps and curved growth patterns, displaying vibrant colors such as red, green, blue, and purple. The polyps can expand significantly depending on light and water flow, creating a dynamic movement in the water. Its brain-like patterns and bright colors make it a true eye-catcher in any reef tank.
Care and Maintenance
Lobophyllia prefers moderate lighting and gentle to moderate water flow, which softly moves its fleshy polyps. It is highly adaptable and can be placed on live rock or sand beds. Containing zooxanthellae, it derives most of its energy through photosynthesis but benefits from targeted feeding with plankton, micro-particles, or fine frozen food to promote optimal growth and vibrant colors.
Special Features and Care Tips
Lobophyllia is known for its long sweeper tentacles, which it extends at night to catch prey. Due to its strong stinging capabilities, it should be placed with sufficient space from other corals to avoid damaging nearby species. Maintaining stable water quality with consistent calcium and magnesium levels is essential to support growth and prevent color fading.
Lobophyllia is an ideal LPS coral for marine aquariums, offering a unique aesthetic with its vibrant colors, brain-like patterns, and fleshy polyps. Its hardy nature and relatively easy care make it perfect for beginners, while its dynamic movements and colorful patterns continue to captivate experienced aquarists. With its extraordinary appearance and ease of maintenance, Lobophyllia is a stunning addition to any reef aquarium.
