About the Wilsoni Brain Coral (Australophyllia wilsoni)
The Wilsoni is one of the most sought-after LPS corals in the hobby. Found only in the temperate waters of Southwest Australia, wild colonies are scarce and export is tightly limited, making aquacultured frags like this one a rare opportunity. Each Wilsoni displays completely unique coloration, and well-established pieces are considered centerpiece corals that hold or increase their value as they grow.
This frag is aquacultured, fully healed, and has been held and conditioned in our systems. It is actively feeding and displaying full color and polyp extension.
