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 with lower exposure and acclimate slowly if moving it toward brighter light to avoid abrupt changes.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, dispersed movement helps keep the coral clear without subjecting its tissue to direct, forceful water movement.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas with room to grow. Begin in a lower-light position, then observe its response before making gradual placement adjustments.

Temperament

Allow ample space from neighboring corals. Chalice corals are semi-aggressive to aggressive, so avoid close placement where they may affect nearby corals.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional fine meaty foods can be offered when practical, while avoiding excessive feeding or sudden nutrient shifts.

General Care

Moderate care is appropriate. Maintain stable reef conditions, make changes gradually, and watch the coral after placement, lighting adjustments, or feeding. Avoid abrupt nutrient changes, and give it time to settle before moving it again.

Give this chalice stable conditions, indirect flow, and plenty of room.
