In the wild it rests unattached on soft sediment across sheltered lagoons and inter-reef areas of the Indo-Pacific, including sites in northern Australia, favouring dim light, mild currents and water carrying a touch more nutrients than the open reef. Mirror this at home by setting AA15 straight onto the sandbed in a quiet, low-flow part of the aquarium - avoid tucking it into rockwork, since that can bruise its soft underside.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat AA15 Looks Like\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe body is fleshy and heavily folded, giving it that classic \"brain\" look, and it swells noticeably as it takes on water during daylight hours, often ballooning to twice its normal resting size. Colouration runs through neon reds, greens and rainbow blends across the folds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Keep It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eKnown in the trade as the Open Brain, this species is prized for being hardy and forgiving while still bringing a huge amount of colour to the display - qualities AA15 shows off well.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nick's Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55232758546723,"sku":"AA0154","price":245.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au\/products\/trachyphyllia-open-brain-aa15-trachyphyllia-geoffroyi","provider":"Nicks Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
