trachyphyllia

Hello again! Sorry for such a basic and dumb question.. I'm just at a complete loss. I swear I thought I've done everything right, yet I just don't know why my Ammonia won't drop to 0. Here are my parameters... I've been having issues keeping Alk and Magnesium lower as well. It must be the salt...

Hi All, I’m having big issues with my Trachy all of a sudden. I’ve had this coral for about 4 months now and up until about a month ago it has always been blown up and inflated and happy. I first noticed what I thought were eggs, fluorescent mucous like deposits. (Found out this was just the...

Hello, all! I got this gorgeous Trachy on Thursday of last week and I'm just not sure if it's happy or not... It came in perfect and puffy, put it in my tank (acclimated it first of course) then the next day started getting smaller and less puffy... I know they can deflate at night, but tbh it...

My trachyphyllia seem to shrink up more and more by the week. When i first got it, it puffed up like no other on the corner of the tank with very little par around 50-70 par. Then i moved it after 2 weeks to 130-150 par position with similar flow as the previous position. When i moved it i kept...

Hi all! First thread here. I rarely if ever see any success stories of bringing back brain corals from a certain point of the “dead” on this forum. So I just wanted to share my success story to bring some people hope that it’s possible. Just a warning that some of my description of my coral...

Hey everyone, My trachy is seemingly receding on one side even though it has been doing well for quite some time now. I don’t have any shrimp in the tank and don’t know why it would bail out on this side like this. Does anyone know why this could be happening? Thank you

Hello LPS Lovers! I've got a 24 gallon mixed reef which is sorely lacking LPS but has plenty of softies and some SPS corals. However I am really looking into getting a brain coral, as they just look totally wicked and have a kaleidoscope of colors. However I am wondering which genus of Brain I...

Not a question but just want to see everyone’s awesome trachys! It’s my favorite coral so far just love all the cool patterns and color to them, also any special advice you have for them. Here my two I got 4months ago

I just purchased a trachy from my LFS. When it first arrived there about 2 months ago it was very vibrant red with an insanely green middle. Since then it has slowly lost color and today I was able to get them to sell it to me for $20 because it hasn't been doing so good in their frag tank (It...

Hi, I have this awesome piece if brain coral that I love, but noticed today that there is thus section of exposed skeleton on it. Does anyone know what could be the cause? It looks pretty healthy besides that. Thank you! P.S. enjoy the clownfish photo bomb

This is the current state of one side of my poor trachy. I got him about 2 weeks ago and on the day after successfully acclimating, inflated like a balloon, ever since though he's been pretty tight to his skeleton, and now it's gotten so bad I think I can see skeleton and I'm seeking help. I've...

Hi Everyone, I am thinking of adding a sand sifting star to my tank, but had a question before I do. I have 3 lobophyllia and 1 trachyphillia of good size on my sand bed. They are doing well and so I am assuming that their placement is correct. Will a sand sifting star have any effect on...

So my Trachy got stressed during a move and punctured it’s tissues with its skeleton and now algae has started to grow on it and it won’t fully inflate. Any tips?

I noticed this happening to my trachy... I'm not sure what it is exactly and have tried looking it up online with no luck! Does anyone have experience with this?

In the beginning: My husband and I went to buy a scully and saw this sad trachyphyllia and asked what was wrong and why it looked so horrible and bleached. The shop worker said "Oh the lights are to bright in this tank for it. We are basically killing it." When looking at the whole tank my...

Can meat corals and trachys touch? I was recently told that they can. But i can find mo information anywhere on this subject. Has anyone ever seen this?

Hi everyone, I've had this brain coral for about two months now and never had an issue with it. This morning I noticed that the top right corner is beginning to die but I'm not sure why? All my other corals in the tank are very happy so this was quite a shock. Water quality is within safe...
