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 exposure, watching the coral’s response rather than making abrupt changes.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, varied movement helps keep the coral clear of settled debris without exposing its fleshy tissue to a direct blast.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas with room to grow. Allow a gradual light acclimation period, especially when introducing it to a brighter established aquarium.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive to aggressive chalice ample space from neighboring corals. Avoid close placement, as nearby corals can be affected by its stinging potential.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional fine meaty foods may be offered carefully, with attention to water quality and the coral’s response.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and avoid abrupt nutrient changes. Observe the coral after introduction or any adjustment to lighting, flow, or placement, then make changes gradually rather than all at once.

Provide space, indirect flow, and steady conditions for dependable long-term care.
