What is Brain Coral?
Brain coral is a type of stony coral which is named after its unusual appearance. As brain coral grows, it develops a rounded surface covered in deep meandering ridges and grooves, causing it to look eerily like a brain. This coral can be found in warm, shallow waters in many parts of the world, most notably in Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. Like many other species of coral, brain coral is in danger due to changes in the marine environment, many of which have been brought about by human activity.
