Brain Coral (Lobophyllia / Symphyllia – Assorted "A Grade")
Brain Corals are highly sought-after LPS coral species for Australian reef aquariums, known for their bold, meandering polyp structures and vivid colouration. “A Grade” Brain Corals offer premium specimens in assorted colours, including shades of red, green, brown, and orange, making each piece a unique and visually striking addition to your reef tank. These corals are moderately hardy and ideal for beginner to intermediate aquarists who want a durable, long-lasting coral with slow but steady growth. With proper care, Brain Corals can become a stunning focal point in your marine aquarium, adding both texture and depth to your reef display.

Fish Tank Compatibility
Brain Corals are generally peaceful but can extend sweeper tentacles that may sting nearby corals, so provide adequate space around them. They are compatible with most reef-safe fish and invertebrates but avoid coral-nipping species such as some butterflyfish or angelfish.
Lighting Needs
These corals thrive under low to moderate LED or T5 reef lighting. Proper lighting promotes healthy polyp expansion and enhances their natural colouration. Gradually acclimate new specimens to your aquarium lighting to prevent stress or bleaching.
Water Flow Requirements
Brain Corals prefer low to moderate water flow that allows their fleshy polyps to extend naturally without damage. Gentle circulation ensures nutrient delivery, waste removal, and optimal growth.
Tank Size & Placement
Brain Corals are best suited for small to medium marine aquariums. Place them on stable rockwork or substrate with enough space to accommodate colony expansion. Maintaining consistent water parameters and careful care will ensure your Brain Coral thrives and remains a visually striking centerpiece.
