The Cultured Mint Green with Pink Rim Coral will bring a lot of attention to your aquarium. The Brain Coral is a fan favorite among reef enthusiasts, however, while Favia sp. is typically the first to come to mind, Lobophyllia sp. is just as remarkable. Lobophyllia sp. can be identified by their large fleshy polyps that comes in different textures: some are smooth, bumpy and others resemble a carpet. This coral will retain their coloration under moderate lighting. Moderate to higher water flow is optimal with this coral and will help prevent sediments from settling on it. They have long sweeper tentacles that come out at night so be sure to provide substantial space between neighboring corals or the Brain Coral can sting them. Supplemented feedings are not a necessity for these corals but, target feedings of small meaty foods when their tentacles are out to enhance growth rates and coloration.

- Provide an aquarium placement with moderate flow and lighting
- Provide supplemental additions of calcium, strontium and other trace elements
- For continued health, supplement with small meaty foods
- Cannot tolerate copper medications
- Reef safe

ACCLIMATION: Allow the sealed bag with your new fish to float in your aquarium for at least 15 minutes (but no longer than one hour) to ensure the water in the bag matches the temperature in your aquarium. For new aquariums, adding new fish slowly helps to properly develop the nitrogen cycle, which creates a safe environment for your aquatic pets. A bacteria booster may also help develop a new aquarium for your new fish. Petco offers free water testing in store to determine if your water is safe. DIET: A well-balanced diet consists of a variety of flakes, pellets, freeze-dried, and frozen food, depending on the species. FEEDING: Feed sparingly and no more than fish can eat in 1-2 minutes. Overfeeding can quickly foul the water, especially in smaller, unfiltered aquariums.
