Brain Coral should be approached with caution. While they are immensely interesting to look at, and are equally as useful, you do not want to get on its bad side. Within the grooves of the brain like convolutions are the Brain Corals tentacles which are usually released at night in order to hunt. The Brain Coral will use its tentacles to strangle its prey and anything that possess a threat to it. If faced with a Brain Coral attack, you should stun the plant, rather than sever it’s tentacles, otherwise it wont be too impressed. While Brain Coral haven’t been known to devour a human it has been known to snack on them. Its mouth can be found at its base where it meets the ground.
