I have never seen my brain.  But I can believe that it looks a lot like this very close up pixutre of Brain Coral.

Brain Corals are found in warm shallow water.

Each head of coral is formed by a colony of genetically identical polyps, which secrete a hard skeleton of calcium carbonate. This makes them an important reef builder.

Sadly, we seldom see brain corals that are this healthy anymore. As they are easily bleached by the warmer oceans that we are currently experiencing around the world.
