Cloudberry Chalice Coral - Care Requirements

Cloudberry Chalice Coral is a chalice large-polyp stony coral with moderate care requirements. This WYSIWYG chalice coral suits reef keepers seeking an LPS coral with a distinctive bubble texture. Provide a stable reef environment, measured acclimation, and enough open space for placement and future expansion.

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

Use low to moderate lighting. Start with a gentler position, then acclimate slowly if moving toward brighter light to avoid sudden changes in exposure.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, variable movement helps keep the coral clear without directing a forceful stream onto its fleshy surface.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas with room to grow. Begin on the bottom or lower rockwork, and make adjustments gradually after observing its response.

Temperament

Allow generous space from neighboring corals. Chalice corals are semi-aggressive to aggressive, so avoid close placement where they may contact or sting nearby specimens.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional fine meaty foods can be offered, but stable reef conditions remain the foundation of routine care.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and avoid abrupt nutrient changes. Observe the coral after introduction or placement changes, especially during light acclimation, and make gradual adjustments rather than several corrections at once.

Give this chalice steady conditions, indirect flow, and clear space around it.
