Open Brain Corals are one of the more regular corals kept in aquaria, and are a good choice for those just getting started with stony corals. They are commonly found in green and red colorations with the most common coloration being green. They have a hard skeleton that is covered with fleshy skin that in some species become quite enlarged and make the coral look much larger then they actually are. Others will have the fleshy skin much closer to the skeletal structure. In either case care must be taken when placing the coral in the aquarium so that nothing will damage the skin possibly causing an infection to the coral. When placing them in the aquarium place them on the substrate or mid way in the aquarium where they will receive the most direct light. Most of the nutritions comes from the symbiotic algaes that benefit from this lighting, but supplemental feeding are also beneficial.

Frogspawn corals get their name from the multi-tipped tentacles that they have. The tentacles give the appearance of a mass of frog eggs before hatching. Frogspawn are aggressive because their tentacles can extend several inches and have a powerful sting. Make sure that they are given enough room to move in the current without contacting other specimens in the aquarium. Place in medium to high light, with moderate water movement. Invertebrate food should be fed to these corals once or twice a week depending on the bio load in the aquarium.

The Green Pavona maldivensis is a rare form of the popular Pavona coral. This coral is bright green in color and forms an encrusting surface. While Pavona sp. corals can tolerate lower lighting, bright green colonies like this one will benefit from high direct lighting. They should be kept with moderate to high water flow. This is a moderately aggressive coral and should not be kept in a crowded reef. It is a fairly easy coral to propogate by “fragging” the main colony into multiple pieces.

Clove polyps are very similiar in appearance to Anthelia corals. A distinguishing feature is the base of the polyp; Anthelia polyps can only deflate, whereas Clavularia can retract its polyps completely. Clove polyps receive most of their nutrients through photosynthesis, but will benefit from supplemental planktonic food.

The Neon Dottyback is yellow-orange with one irridescent blue stripe running from the snout to the tail fin, and another from the upper jaw to the gill cover. They also have blue accents on the tail, dorsal fin, and gill cover. The Neon Dottyback is not as shy as other Dottybacks and will spend a lot of time in the open. They are very aggressive, and should not be kept with each other or similar species except in a very large aquarium. They have even been known to attack larger fish, and may not get along with wrasses. They are excellent for reef aquariums because they will feed on bristle worms. They prefer live food but will eat frozen foods like brine shrimp, krill, and mysis shrimp. This Neon Dottyback is tankraised. It has been bred in captivity, making it more acclimated to aquarium conditions and reducing its exposure to wild parasites.
