Its broad valleys and inflated tissue create a dramatic appearance that makes it an excellent centerpiece for the lower portions of a reef aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis WYSIWYG specimen displays rich green coloration that becomes especially vivid under blue-spectrum reef lighting. When fully expanded, its fleshy tissue develops pronounced folds and ridges across the underlying skeleton, giving the coral its characteristic open-brain appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWellsophyllia brain corals are photosynthetic and receive much of their energy from symbiotic zooxanthellae within their tissue. They are also capable feeders and may extend feeding tentacles, particularly during the evening or when food is introduced to the aquarium. With stable reef parameters, moderate lighting, gentle water movement, and occasional supplemental feeding, this coral can maintain excellent coloration and healthy tissue expansion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWYSIWYG:\u003c\/strong\u003e The coral pictured is the exact coral you will receive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDiet \u0026amp; Compatibility:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mixotroph.
