Buyin new open bain? Maybe...

I recently got a new neon green open brain coral and I love it. But I was wondering if I could get another one in a different color
Or maybe if they do not come in other colors something similar to an open brain that does come in a different color?maybe red? I would like it to also be under 50$. Any suggestions? Thanks!

 

heres my open brain, it a baby blue color..you can have more than one..

just keep in mind they get bigger and are aggressive to other corals - so you need to make sure you have lots of room between them. My favorite coral's
check out the photo I took last night

 

Brains are very easy to care for corals but as mentioned they can be aggressive toward other corals. I have seen them red, orange, tan, green and even black.

Check out your brain coral in the evening after the lights have been out for a while and you will see its sweeper tentacles – this is where you need to be mindful of neighboring corals. Offer some food in the evening when the tentacles are out, mico-plankton or even small pieces of shrimp or the like (brine shrimp are a favorite).

Most brains are under $50 – the price jumps according to size. Don’t go for the large, they grow fairly quickly when you keep up calcium and trace elements and feed regularly.

 

for pricing to the OP..i paid 15$ for mine in the pic..its about 3" long and and 1" wide..i got it from a local reefer, so im sure they are more at a fish store..i dont buy many corals at fish stores so not quite sure on prices..and plus this hobby is pretty cheap in baton rouge..everyone has a reef tank it seems like..

ACK ! I just sent you a friend request and then you post this !?! LOL - this is something I have never said and can't ever imagine saying it. Yet somehow I am glad for you.

the reason i say that is because i was talking to shackman not long ago and he said a fish store was charging 150$ for 3 heads of acans that were just like the red acans in my tank that i paid 10$ for 5 heads..

whats wrong with saying that tho...theres no way i could be in the hobby when i hear what some people are paying for corals..and they are just bland color corals too, ridiculous prices..i could be a millionaire if i charged what i have been hearing what people pay for corals....

we can still be friends..lol

 

ok that's it, I am moving to Baton Rouge ! (oh crap, now I am thinking of the Brady Bunch ! lol -- any other "over 40's crowd there as well?)
