Overview

Platygyra corals, often called Brain Corals or Maze Corals, are renowned for their intricate, brain-like skeletal structures characterized by winding valleys and ridges. Colonies are typically massive, encrusting, or dome-shaped, displaying a range of colors from earthy browns and greens to vibrant oranges and pinks. These corals are photosynthetic but also benefit from supplemental feeding, extending feeding tentacles at night. Their unique textured appearance makes them a striking centerpiece in any established reef display.

Care Level

Platygyra corals are considered moderately hardy and can be a good choice for beginner to intermediate reef keepers. They require stable water parameters and consistent care. While generally peaceful, they can extend sweeper tentacles at night, so proper spacing from other corals is essential to avoid conflict.

Tank Essentials

Maintain stable water parameters with a temperature of 23–27°C (74–80°F) and a salinity of 1.024–1.026. They thrive in low to moderate water flow, which helps keep their intricate structures clean without causing stress. Moderate lighting (50–150 PAR) is recommended, with gradual acclimation being key.

Diet

While primarily photosynthetic, Platygyra corals benefit greatly from supplemental target feeding 1-2 times per week with small meaty foods like mysis shrimp or coral pellets.
