LPS 6cm piece

The Chalice coral will bring a good contrast to any reef aquarium as it encrusts over the rock. When placed on an exposed rock or ledge this coral may plate out as well as encrust the rock.

Tentacles: Echinophyllia & Chalice Corals have sweeper tentacles that come out at night so leave several inches between them and surrounding corals.

Placement: Mount the Chalice coral using IC gel glue, or putty, on an exposed rock in the lower half of the aquarium where it will receive moderate flow and indirect light.

Feeding: Recommend feeding Echinophyllia and Chalice Corals with Oyster-Feast, Roti-Feast, and/or cyclopeeze. Target feeding gets the corals fed using less food while keeping your nitrates and phosphates lower.

Lighting & Flow Requirements: The Chalice coral requires moderate water flow and low to moderate lighting (PAR 80-250) to maintain its color. T5’s, Metal Halides, or LED’s can all grow Echinophyllia & Chalice Corals when the proper PAR levels are provided. We recommend a 14-20K color spectrum for best coloration.
