The Lobophyllia Brain Coral is a large polyp stony (LPS) coral also referred to as Open Brain, or Folded Brain Coral. It is found in a variety of textures, shapes, and colors. Some are smooth, while others appear rough or bumpy. Colors vary from bright red, green, orange, gray, tan, or brown.

Its behavior is semi-aggressive and can sting other corals with its extended sweeper tentacles are extended at night. Provide plenty of space between it and other neighboring corals. It is easy to maintain, making it an excellent candidate for the beginning aquarist. Requires moderate to strong lighting combined with a moderate flow.

The symbiotic algae zooxanthellae hosted within its body provides the majority of its nutritional requirements, though will also benefit from additional food in the form of micro-plankton or brine shrimp fed in the evening when its tentacles are visible.
