Common names include Meat Coral, Wrinkle Coral, Lobed Brain Coral, Pacific Cactus Coral, Closed Brain, Dented Brain, and simply Brain Coral. That's because these photosynthetic corals are similar in shape to Lobophyllia, with large meandering tissue ridges. Very hardy and undemanding and colors vary, e.g., combinations of green, cream, brown, and gray.
