Overview
The Toxic Maze Brain coral is an extra-large premium Platygyra specimen, showcasing intense fluorescence and hypnotic architecture. Each ridge and valley acts like a glowing neural pathway, earning this coral its "brain coral" nickname.
This standout piece brings both structural depth and colour brilliance to any reef layout — especially when illuminated by high-quality actinic or blue spectrum lighting. Its unique maze growth pattern offers movement and texture beyond just colour.
Care & Feeding
A relatively hardy coral, it benefits from stable parameters and occasional direct feeding. While it is photosynthetic, target feeding with reef roids, microplankton, or finely minced seafood once a week can boost health and expansion.
Avoid high flow that may irritate the fleshy tissue along the valleys.
Optimal Parameters
-
Alkalinity (dKH): 8–11
-
Calcium (Ca): 420–460 ppm
-
Magnesium (Mg): 1250–1350 ppm
-
Nitrate (NO₃): 2–10 ppm
-
Phosphate (PO₄): 0.01–0.05 ppm
Placement
Place this coral in a low to moderate flow area, either on the sandbed or on a flat rock base. Ensure it's secure and not in contact with aggressive neighbours. With time, it will encrust and grow into impressive domes or ridged plates.
