WYSIWYG Wellsophyllia Brain Coral (4″) – Conditioned in Key West

WYSIWYG Wellsophyllia Brain Coral (4″) – Conditioned in Key West is a free-living open brain coral with fleshy tissue that expands beyond its skeleton. Stable conditions, modest light, and gentle indirect flow support healthy inflation and coloration.

Open Brain Coral Care

Open brain corals respond best to stable reef conditions. Give the coral a flat, secure position where its tissue can inflate without rubbing against rock or being pressed against the skeleton by direct flow. Acclimate it gradually to the stated light range.

Placement and Feeding

Keep the coral upright and clear of sharp edges. Its tissue can expand well beyond the visible skeleton, so allow open space and prevent sand, detritus, or neighboring corals from contacting the inflated polyp.

Turn down nearby flow during target feeding, remove uneaten food, and make lighting or placement changes gradually. Stable alkalinity and salinity are more important than frequent adjustments.
