Tiger Striped Trachy

About this coral

Tiger Striped Trachy is a live LPS coral from the Trachyphyllia group (often sold as “trachys” in the hobby). It’s a fleshy, sandbed “open brain” style coral that’s typically kept as a colorful display centerpiece—especially useful for aquascapes where you want something eye-catching low in the tank. General care guidance is based on Trachyphyllia/Wellsophyllia-type sand-dwelling LPS, since commercial “Tiger Striped” naming can represent a variety/color morph rather than a distinct, uniquely documented species.

Features:

• LPS coral with a fleshy, brain-like appearance that makes a strong focal point in reef aquariums. (Group-level guidance for Trachyphyllia)
• A sandbed-oriented growth habit fits tanks that include lower, calmer zones for substrate-dwelling corals.
• Moderate lighting and moderate water movement are the stated setup targets for this specific item. ([aquasd.com](https://aquasd.com/tiger-striped-trachy-4dfd5c8ee/?utm_source=openai))
• Moderate placement (mid-to-lower areas) helps support a stable display position for a sandbed coral. ([aquasd.com](https://aquasd.com/tiger-striped-trachy-4dfd5c8ee/?utm_source=openai))
• Slow acclimation and avoiding sudden light changes are recommended by the seller notes. ([aquasd.com](https://aquasd.com/tiger-striped-trachy-4dfd5c8ee/?utm_source=openai))
• Seller describes Trachys and Wellsos as “colorful fleshy sandbed corals,” aligning with their typical husbandry approach. ([aquasd.com](https://aquasd.com/tiger-striped-trachy-4dfd5c8ee/?utm_source=openai))
