Cloudberry Chalice Coral

Cloudberry Chalice Coral - Care Requirements

Cloudberry Chalice Coral is a chalice large-polyp stony coral with moderate care requirements. This WYSIWYG chalice coral is suited to reef keepers seeking an LPS coral for a lower, lower-light area of the aquascape. Give it room from nearby corals as it settles into stable reef conditions.

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 lower light and acclimate slowly if moving toward brighter areas, watching for changes in its response.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, dispersed circulation helps keep debris from settling without directing a harsh stream at the coral.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas with room to grow. Secure the frag where it can receive indirect flow and remain clear of neighboring corals.

Temperament

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

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional fine meaty foods may be offered. Keep feedings measured and observe the coral’s response.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and avoid abrupt nutrient changes. Acclimate slowly to brighter light, monitor its placement and surrounding space, and make adjustments gradually rather than all at once.

Give this chalice stable conditions, indirect flow, and adequate space.
