Cloudberry Chalice - Care Requirements

Cloudberry Chalice is a chalice large-polyp stony coral with moderate care requirements. This WYSIWYG chalice coral is suited to reef keepers seeking an LPS coral with care centered on measured lighting, indirect flow, and thoughtful spacing.

This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Low to moderate lighting
• Flow: Low to moderate indirect flow
• Placement: Lower reef areas with room to grow
• Temperament: Semi-aggressive to aggressive
• Care Level: Moderate

Lighting

Provide low to moderate lighting. Start in gentler light and acclimate slowly if moving it brighter to avoid abrupt light stress.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, dispersed movement helps keep the coral clear without directing a harsh stream at its fleshy tissue.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas with room to grow. Give the specimen time to adjust after placement, especially when introducing it to brighter lighting.

Temperament

Allow generous space from neighboring corals. Chalice corals can be semi-aggressive to aggressive, so avoid close contact that may lead to stinging or tissue damage.

Feeding

Offer occasional fine meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, and any additions should fit the aquarium’s established nutrient balance.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and avoid abrupt nutrient changes. Observe the coral after acclimation, placement, or flow adjustments, then make gradual changes rather than frequent corrections.

A measured setup and adequate spacing support long-term chalice coral care.
