Platygyra Coral, commonly known as Brain Coral or Maze Coral, is an LPS species recognized for its intricate, maze-like ridges and deep valleys that create a striking visual centerpiece in any reef tank. It comes in a range of vibrant colors including greens, purples, reds, and blues that fluoresce beautifully under actinic lighting. Platygyra thrives in moderate lighting and moderate water flow, which helps maintain its shape and prevents detritus buildup in its valleys. It’s a hardy coral suitable for most reef setups but should be placed with some space from other corals, as it can extend short sweeper tentacles at night. While it can photosynthesize through its zooxanthellae, occasional feedings with fine meaty foods or coral-specific blends will enhance growth and coloration. With stable water parameters and gentle flow, Platygyra is a long-lived, visually impressive addition to both beginner and advanced reef aquariums.
