Brain Food: What is the feeding mechanism of Trachyphyllia coral?
This week we have been talking about brain corals so let’s talk about how they feed, and specifically, how trachyphyllia feed. Are they filter feeders, suspension feeders, or do they feed via photosynthesis? If one or more of these options don’t apply to trachys, then what other corals feed that way? Maybe most importantly, what is your experience with feeding trachys? Please tell us what you feed your trachy and share any tips that you may have on providing a healthy diet for brain corals.
