Trachyphyllia is now considered to have only one recognized species: Trachyphyllia geoffroyi. In the past, some corals were classified separately as Wellsophyllia radiata, but current taxonomy places them all under T. geoffroyi. You may still see the name 'Wellsophyllia' used in the hobby, especially to describe certain color forms or growth styles, but it refers to the same coral.

How to Choose a Healthy Trachyphyllia Coral
- Coloration:
Look for vibrant, saturated colors such as red, green, orange, or rainbow morphs. Dull or faded colors may indicate stress or poor health.
- Tissue Health:
Choose specimens with full, inflated tissue and no visible skeleton. Recession, tears, or exposed white areas are signs of damage or disease.
- Inflation:
A healthy Trachy should appear inflated and fleshy during the day. While some deflation is normal during transport or at night, persistently deflated tissue could signal stress or disease.
