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 conservatively, especially when moving it into brighter conditions, and acclimate slowly rather than making sudden light changes.
Flow
Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, dispersed 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. Give it time to adjust after placement, and avoid frequent moves while it settles into the aquarium.
Temperament
Allow generous space from neighboring corals. Chalice corals are semi-aggressive to aggressive, so keep them separated to reduce the risk of contact and stinging interactions.
Feeding
Occasional fine meaty foods can be offered, but feeding is optional. Keep portions modest and observe its response before establishing a routine.
General Care
Maintain stable reef conditions and avoid abrupt nutrient changes. Watch for changes after acclimation, lighting adjustments, or placement, and make corrections gradually rather than changing several conditions at once.
Give this chalice stable conditions, indirect flow, and adequate neighboring-coral clearance.
