Confetti Trachy

About this coral

ASD Confetti Trachy is a fleshy large-polyp stony (LPS) coral in the Trachyphyllia group, commonly called a trachy or open brain coral. Trachys and Wellsos are colorful fleshy corals often kept on the aquarium sandbed. This named shop variety is suitable for reef aquariums; its name does not establish a particular species or specific color traits. The care notes below are general guidance for Trachyphyllia-group corals, not a verified care sheet for this named variety.

Features:

• A fleshy, substantial LPS coral that can add a prominent focal point to a reef display.
• Typically placed on the sandbed, where it has room and is not pressed against rockwork.
• Use gentle to moderate water movement; strong direct flow can be hard on its fleshy tissue.
• Provide low to moderate light as a general starting point, adjusting carefully to the individual coral's response.
• May accept small meaty marine foods. Target feeding is optional and should not leave uneaten food on the coral.
• Allow space from neighboring corals, as fleshy LPS corals may extend feeding or stinging tentacles.

Specifications:

• Coral group: Trachyphyllia group; exact species and named-morph traits are not verified.
• Care level: Moderate; maintain stable reef conditions and observe the coral after placement.
• Temperament: Give neighboring corals space; potential contact or stinging interactions should be avoided.
• Light and flow: General guidance: low to moderate light and gentle to moderate flow; avoid strong direct current.
• Placement: Sandbed placement is commonly used; provide room around the fleshy tissue.
• Diet: Photosynthetic; may also accept small meaty marine foods.
• General reef targets: Temperature 24–27 °C; pH 8.1–8.4; salinity 1.025–1.026 specific gravity; alkalinity 8–11 dKH; calcium 400–450 ppm; magnesium 1,250–1,350 ppm. These are general aquarium targets, not morph-specific requirements.
