open brain coral

Hello. Yesterday I bought an open brain coral at my local fish store. I came home and I noticed that it had a small area which was not covered in flesh (dead spot?) as seen in the picture (top middle of the coral). When I saw him at the fish store, the brain coral was inflated and puffed which...

Hi All- need some ID help please! We noticed this small mass on our meat coral over the past week, who otherwise is happy and healthy. Then I noticed our open brain coral, who hasn't been as happy lately, has a similar mass. Tonight I noticed the small mass has changed position on our meat...

Why is this dude kinda white? It was like this when I got it last week. Do you think it's naturally this color, it's on the bottom of the tank, I got 4 t5s and a 75 gallon

I just fed phyto and zooplankton, is this normal behavior? This is my first open brain and it seems pretty healthy if you ask me.

Do open brain corals breach in too high light or too low light? I have one which is bleaching so i moved it to higher light to prevent it from bleaching further or am i making it worse?. Thanks, Harvey

Hey guys I had an awesome open brain. It had some problems, but it was sweet. I want to know where I can find one with this coloration again. I assume they are expensive but once I find a place to get one with the same bright vibrant colors I will save my pennies. I LOVE the yellows and reds...

here's a coupe new goodies from the LFS... first is an open brain coral...maybe a lobo open brain? the base of the coral is flat, not conical, so i'm a little unsure...chime in it is super colorful, with blue, pink, orange red, purple & a blue/green... a CD placed for size comparison it has...
