{"title":"Trachy","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Trachyphyllia — or open brain coral — is a living watercolor painting. Its huge, folded mantle inflates each day into pillowy swirls of pastel pink, purple, metallic teal, and neon green, making a single specimen the focal point of an entire tank. Trachys are classic sand-bed corals: place them flat on soft substrate (never wedged in rock), give them low-to-moderate light and gentle flow, and feed meaty foods a couple of evenings a week. Their soft tissue tears easily, so handle by the skeleton only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach Trachy we offer is WYSIWYG — choose your exact brain from the collection below!\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"wysiwyg-ultra-neon-green-trachy-open-brain-coral-live-lps","title":"Neon Green Trachy","description":"\u003ch3\u003eTrachyphyllia Coral \u003cem\u003e(Trachyphyllia spp.)\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Easy to moderate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLighting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low to moderate (PAR 75–150)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater flow:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low to gentle indirect flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIdeal placement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Secure, flat sandbed or lower tank zones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peaceful (with moderate defensive capabilities)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eProduct overview\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Trachyphyllia Coral — widely admired across the hobby as the Open Brain Coral — is a premier Large Polyp Stony (LPS) specimen celebrated for its magnificent, folded valley structure and luxuriously heavy flesh.
