RB Care Guide: Trachyphyllia

Introduction to Trachyphyllia Care
Trachyphyllia, or Trachy, as they are commonly called, are another extremely popular and must have LPS coral! These big meat corals are recognized by their fleshy, brightly colored bodies that light up the bottom of reef tanks. Their vibrant colors can range from deep greens and blues, to extremely bright fluorescing reds, oranges, and pinks, and everything in between! It’s no surprise these Collector’s Corals often become the centerpiece of reef tanks, especially when all those colors blend together to form a Rainbow Trachy.
Most Trachy come from Australia and Indonesia. However, with the re-opening of Fiji Coral exports in the beginning of 2024, we are also now able to get Trachy from Walt Smith International (WSI) in Fiji! Out of the 3 countries, Indo Trachy are the largest and most color diverse with wild specimens popping up all the time. Aussie and Fiji typically produce smaller Trachy, with a bit more basic color spectrum (Neon, Pink/Purple and Red), but just as vibrant. Almost all Trachy glow like crazy under an actinic spectrum, and are great reef additions!
