Unless specified as WYSIWYG, the photographs are a representative sample and the product you receive may be slightly different in shape and coloration. Many factors can influence the appearance of corals such as stressful events like shipping, lighting changes, intensity, spectrum, water chemistry, and overall nutrition. Typically speaking if corals lose color during transit they will recover them in a relatively short period in optimal conditions.

Trachyphyllia are large polyp stony (LPS) corals in the Merulinidae family. They are also sometimes referred to as “Open Brain corals.” At different times, they have been called both “Trachyphyllia” as well as “Wellsophyllia.” According to the World Register of Marine Species, Trachyphyllia radiata and Wellsophyllia radiata are all now grouped under the Latin name “Trachyphyllia geoffroyi.” So if you hear or read about “Trachys” or “Wellsos,” the content is referring to Trachyphyllia geoffroyi. Trachys can be found in vibrant shades of blue, green, yellow, red, brown, and even multi-colored rainbows. |
