I'm jealous. That thing is beautiful. I dont know why, I just never have had success with brains and they are probably my favorite corals. I like that marbled multi color that so many of them have. And urs is amazing, I've never seen one that looks like that. Great job!

edit: do you mind sharing stats?

-what type of lighting?
-placed at what depth in the tank?
-how often are you feeding?
-flow?

I have a trachy that looks like crap. I've tried different spots in my tank and nothing seems to bring back the color.

First I am not sure what type of brain that is.. My lfs has told me mAny times but i forget.. The brain is in a biocube 29 at the bottom ( sand bed) that pic was taken with the stock pc lighting.. I was target feeding with a mix of rods, mysis, and flakes.. I was feeding flakes in the afternoon and mixed it up around 7 pm.. Sometimes mysis, rods or both.. I have noticed my nitrates climbed to about 10ppm.. Lfs says i am feeding to much which i agree but things look good to me. Reminder I have only been in the hobby about 4 months
