What do you mean by Mulch? What do you mean by puffy and what kind of brain coral?

 

[SnowZz]

to the right look at the difference im worried: also do you know this brain's exact species? because i dont

 

[melosu58]

I personally dont see anything. Looks like this

Saltwater Aquarium Corals for Marine Reef Aquariums: Brain Coral, Trachyphyllia

awesome thanks melosu never knew the type. Its still my fav coral and im glad my LFS had one, soon as it came in i swooped it. Lol i call them twice a week asking what there getting in

 

[melosu58]

Try some of the Lobo`s like the one I have in my avatar. They are pretty hardy also.

well i wont be adding any more brains or any more large corals until i get a bigger tank sometimes my brain gets pretty large.

 

[melosu58]

I know what you mean. Good luck with the new tank.

I'm still trying to figure out what you mean by "mulch"???

While I don't see anything really wrong with the coral, I'd try and move it away from that rock on the right. Maybe it's just the angle of the photo, but it looks like that one lobe is kind of tucked under that rock. If it expands and contracts over and over, and keeps rubbing against the rock, it could irritate the tissue or pinch it. Or maybe I'm just looking at the picture wrong.

no that rock is above it, but true it has grown quite a bit, cant wait for my new tank. Can wait to cycle it and new live rock (aqua scaping pumping me up already). i want a 60g cube so bad.
