The ridge-and-valley pattern is shared by corallites rather than each having its own separate mouth, giving the coral its distinctive maze appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNatural Habitat\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlatygyra is a hardy LPS genus found on reef flats and upper slopes throughout the Indo-Pacific, tolerating a wide range of light and flow. Give AA003 moderate lighting and gentle-to-moderate flow to mirror those conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLook for continuous, meandering ridges rather than individual round polyps, with colour concentrated in the valleys and along the ridge crests. A healthy colony shows even, undamaged tissue following the full maze pattern edge to edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTemperament and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs with other LPS brain corals, AA003 can extend sweeper tentacles after dark, so leave clear space around it when choosing a placement.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nick's Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55606921429283,"sku":"AA5530","price":35.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/7236\/5347\/files\/AA5530_20k_114479c0-f605-49ab-8284-ea08dd24ff46.jpg?v=1789695948","url":"https:\/\/nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au\/products\/platygyra-maze-brain-aa003-platygyra-sp-1","provider":"Nicks AOT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
