Chalice (Green with Yellow Dots) Frag
$50.00
Chalice corals are popular for their incredible colours, unique patterns, and plating growth forms. They can be a stunning feature coral and are generally straightforward to care for once settled in.
LIGHTING
Low to moderate lighting is usually best. Many Chalices show their best colours when they're not exposed to overly intense light.
FLOW
Moderate water flow helps keep the surface clean and free from debris without irritating the coral.
FEEDING
Chalices get most of their energy from light, but they can benefit from occasional feedings of coral foods, reef roids, or other fine meaty foods.
PLACEMENT
They are often happiest on the sand bed or lower sections of the rockwork. Be mindful of their growth, as plating varieties can spread out over time.
WATER QUALITY
Stable water parameters are important for healthy growth and colour. Consistent alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, salinity, and temperature will help them thrive.
TANK MATES
Give Chalices plenty of space. They can extend sweeper tentacles, especially at night, and may sting nearby corals if placed too close.
Overall, Chalice corals are a great choice for reef keepers wanting a colourful and eye-catching coral that isn't overly demanding. With stable conditions and a little room to grow, they can become a real highlight of the tank.
