Red/Cherry Open Brain

A *Trachyphyllia* in a saturated solid red-to-cherry tone, sometimes with a contrasting green or cream mouth, valued for clean uniform red flesh.

📜 Backstory

Solid deep-red open brains are wild-collected color morphs marketed simply by color grade. Strong, evenly distributed red pigment without bleaching is uncommon in the wild, which sets the cherry/red grades above standard tan-and-green brains. Specific collection origin varies by import (Indonesia or Australia).

Keeper tips for this variant

Keep on the sand under low light; reds hold best at lower PAR, and gentle flow prevents the fleshy tissue from being damaged.
