Brain corals are apparently named for
their superficial alledged resemblence to
human brains. I think they're much prettier
from the photos I've seen. They are generally
large polyp stony corals, mostly living
independently on sand bottoms, though some
grow to form immense colonies.
As a general rule, they do not require
the high light such as SPS corals do.
I consider most of them fairly easy to keep.
