White Brain Coral

[ledzep fan]

I wanted to find out some info on this coral. If you guys/gals know anything about this coral please share your knowledge. Some questions too. Thanks in advance!
1. Can it be kept in a 12 gallon nano?
2. How hard are they to keep?
3. Are they rare?
4. How much do they usually cost?

Not sure what species of brain coral you're talking about but no healthy brain coral will be "white". There are some genera such as Platygyra (pic attached) that can have light cream colors, but never distinct white. White would indicate bleaching. You have a pic of what you're talking about.

Not positive but that brain appears to be really bleached. That looks like a trachyphyllia species.
