Bahia Brain Coral is an uncommon fishing resource in Loftia that you'll need for research and can also exchange for rewards. The challenge is finding the correct fishing spots, since several different sea creatures share the same locations. Here's where to catch Bahia Brain Coral, how the fishing rewards work, and what to do with it once you've collected some.

Where to Find Bahia Brain Coral in Loftia
To get Bahia Brain Coral in Loftia, travel to The Grove in the Hanging Gardens and fish at Uncommon fishing spots using the Collector Rod. Bahia Brain Coral is part of the Grove fishing pool, which also contains Ivell's Sea Anemone and Sunflower Sea Star.
Follow these steps:
- Travel to the Hanging Gardens district.
- Head toward The Grove and look for fishing ripples in the water.
- Find an Uncommon fishing spot and equip your Collector Rod.
- Cast into the fishing spot and complete the catch.
- Continue fishing until you obtain Bahia Brain Coral.
The Hanging Gardens map lists 10 fishing spot markers associated with this group of resources.
These are shared fishing locations, so catching something other than Bahia Brain Coral doesn't necessarily mean you're in the wrong place.
How to Catch Bahia Brain Coral in Loftia
Bahia Brain Coral is classified as an Uncommon fish with a Medium difficulty fishing encounter consisting of three rings.
You'll need the Collector Rod, which is used to catch resources at the ripples that appear in the water.
Once you've cast into the correct fishing spot, complete the fishing interaction to obtain your catch.
The fishing system also includes a star mechanic that can instantly catch a fish when triggered.
One important detail is that Bahia Brain Coral shares its fishing spots with other resources. Even a successful fishing attempt doesn't necessarily reward the coral you're looking for.
What Else Can You Catch at These Spots?
The Grove's listed fishing pool contains:
| Resource | Rarity / Type |
|---|---|
| Bahia Brain Coral | Uncommon |
| Ivell's Sea Anemone | Uncommon |
| Sunflower Sea Star | Rare |
| Algae | Additional fishing resource |
If you catch an Ivell's Sea Anemone instead, you're still fishing from a location that can produce Bahia Brain Coral.
Rather than immediately abandoning the area, continue checking the appropriate Grove fishing spots.
Bahia Brain Coral Catch Rates and Rewards
The amount of Bahia Brain Coral you receive depends on the fishing outcome.
Resource records list the following results:
| Catch Result | Coral Received | Listed Chance |
|---|---|---|
| Good Catch | 1 | 37.5% |
| Good Catch | 2 | 12.5% |
| Critical Catch | 2 | 33.3% |
These are the listed Bahia Brain Coral reward outcomes, not the overall probability of catching it on any given cast.
The useful distinction is that some successful catches provide two coral instead of one.
That matters when gathering for research, since you may be able to reach your required quantity with fewer successful Bahia Brain Coral catches.
How Much Bahia Brain Coral Do You Need for Still Standing?
The Still Standing research bundle at the Central Lake Research Station requires 3 Bahia Brain Coral.
You don't necessarily need three separate successful catches because certain fishing outcomes reward two coral at once.
How Many Successful Catches Are Needed?
| Coral From First Catch | Still Needed |
|---|---|
| 1 Coral | 2 more |
| 2 Coral | 1 more |
If your first Bahia Brain Coral catch rewards two, one additional successful catch will provide enough for the research bundle.
If every successful catch produces only one coral, you'll need three.
Remember that these counts refer to catches that actually reward Bahia Brain Coral. You may catch other resources while fishing at the same spots.
Once you've collected three coral, take them to the Central Lake Research Station and contribute them to Still Standing.
I'd recommend keeping your first three Bahia Brain Coral for this research requirement rather than exchanging them immediately.
What to Do With Bahia Brain Coral in Loftia
Bahia Brain Coral has two important uses: research donations and contributions to the Floating Village Bin.
Donate It to Still Standing Research
At the Central Lake Research Station, you can donate three Bahia Brain Coral to the Still Standing bundle.
This is the clearest progression-related use for the resource, making it a sensible priority when you first start collecting coral.
Contribute It to the Floating Village Bin
Bahia Brain Coral is also accepted by the Floating Village Bin Lv.1 in the Hanging Gardens.
Contributions to this bin provide Sols, giving you another use for coral beyond research.
Once you've set aside the three needed for Still Standing, additional catches can be considered for contributions.
Should You Sell Bahia Brain Coral?
Bahia Brain Coral has a listed sell value of 10.
However, selling or contributing your first few catches means you'll need to collect more later if you haven't completed Still Standing.
For that reason, prioritize the research requirement if it's still outstanding. Afterward, you can decide how to use any extras based on which rewards you currently need.
Bahia Brain Coral Fishing Tips and Common Problems
Make Sure You're Fishing in The Grove
The important location is The Grove within the Hanging Gardens, specifically its Uncommon fishing spots.
Fishing somewhere else in the district doesn't automatically mean you're using the correct resource pool.
If you're struggling to find Bahia Brain Coral, check the fishing spot's location rather than relying only on being somewhere within the Hanging Gardens.
Don't Confuse Three Fishing Rings With Three Required Coral
Bahia Brain Coral has a Medium fishing encounter with three rings, while Still Standing separately requires three coral.
These are different mechanics. The rings describe the fishing challenge, while the bundle quantity determines how many items you need to collect.
Don't Assume Every Fishing Spot Guarantees Coral
The 10 marked Grove fishing spots share several possible rewards.
That means 10 marked spots doesn't equal 10 guaranteed Bahia Brain Coral.
If you're gathering specifically for Still Standing, track the actual number of coral you've received instead of estimating your progress from the number of places you've fished.
Stop Once You've Reached Your Research Target
If you're only fishing for the Still Standing bundle, there's no need to continue indefinitely after collecting three Bahia Brain Coral.
Complete the donation, then return to fishing when you want additional coral for the Floating Village Bin or other purposes.
This keeps your gathering focused on the resources you actually need, particularly since the same fishing locations can produce several different items.
