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, then acclimate slowly if moving it toward brighter light to help avoid stress from sudden exposure changes.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas with room to grow. Secure the frag where it can remain undisturbed, and allow gradual acclimation before increasing light exposure.

Temperament

Leave ample space between this chalice and neighboring corals. Chalice corals can be semi-aggressive to aggressive, so avoid close placement where contact may lead to stinging.

Feeding

Occasional fine meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Target feeding can be done carefully without overloading the system.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and avoid abrupt nutrient changes. Observe the coral during acclimation and after any lighting, flow, or placement adjustment, making changes gradually rather than all at once.

Give this chalice stable conditions, indirect flow, and room from nearby corals.
