i know its a brain but forgot its name anyone know.its oing good in my tank the only thing is my strawberry goby is spiting sand all over the place on my live rock and my corals might get rid of it thanks

its a open brain-trachyphyllia of some kind i think

it doesnt look happy. it should puff up to 4 times that size at parts fo the day, and even when it isnt puffed up the flesh shouldnt be hugging the skeleton like that. I dont see any skeleton showing so thats good......but I would suggest trying to feed it at night when its feeders come out.

Is it showing its feeders at night??

I just call it open brain.

Like Fly said its a bit retracted and maybe a bit light in color(hard to tell in the pic) but not bleached. Definately not in real bad shape but feeding is a good idea. depending on your lights I might shade it a bit.

Ihave some brain corals and I notice thier feeders coming out during water changes. I started taking the juice form some thawed mysis in a turkey baster and sqeezing it over the top of the brain and my sun corals and this started a feeding response. They open ready to feed every day about 10:30 AM I only feed the mysis to them every other day but it alot nicer to see them during the day

i agree also that it doesnt look happy, they dont like direct lighting especially mh 250 or higher in the 10k range if u just got it u would have to acclimate it to the intense lighting and by the looks of the pic it looks like it under a bit of a strong light. i would shade it and spot feed it some lance fish or mysis etc.
