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 conditions to help avoid light stress.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, dispersed movement helps keep the coral clear of debris without subjecting its fleshy tissue to harsh current.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas with room to grow. Secure the frag where it can receive indirect flow and be observed easily during acclimation.

Temperament

Leave ample space from neighboring corals. Chalice corals can be semi-aggressive to aggressive, so avoid close placement where they may sting nearby specimens.

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional fine meaty foods may be offered. Target feed carefully and avoid overfeeding the reef system.

General Care

Moderate care is appropriate. Maintain stable reef conditions and avoid abrupt nutrient changes. Observe tissue response after placement, lighting adjustments, or feeding, and make changes gradually rather than all at once.

Give it stable conditions, indirect flow, and generous space from neighboring corals.
