Coral Fan Brain

What is a Brain Coral Fan?

A Brain Coral Fan is a soft, branching coral variant in Minecraft with a distinctive pink color. It generates naturally in warm ocean biomes and is often found attached to coral blocks or underwater surfaces. Like other coral fans, it enhances underwater builds by adding realistic plant-like details. When placed outside of water, it dries out and becomes a Dead Brain Coral Fan, losing its vibrant color.

Where Can a Brain Coral Fan Be Found?

Brain Coral Fans generate naturally in warm ocean biomes as part of coral reef formations. They can only be collected using a Silk Touch tool; otherwise, breaking them will destroy the coral. Players may also obtain Brain Coral Fans through Wandering Trader trades. More details about coral reef formations can be found in the Warm Ocean article.

What Can Players Do with a Brain Coral Fan?

Brain Coral Fans are primarily used for decoration in underwater bases, aquariums, and coral reefs. They can be placed on solid underwater blocks to create natural-looking marine environments.

Interesting Fact or Real-Life Connection

In real-world coral reefs, brain corals are known for their maze-like patterns and provide shelter for many marine organisms. Though coral fans are a different type of soft coral, both contribute to the biodiversity of reef ecosystems by supporting small fish and invertebrates.
