Mummy Eye Chalice

Mummy Eye Chalice - Care Requirements

Mummy Eye Chalice is a chalice large-polyp stony coral with a distinctive Mummy Eye morph. This WYSIWYG Mummy Eye Chalice coral is an LPS coral suited to reef keepers prepared to provide moderate care, deliberate placement, and room around the frag as it settles into the aquarium.

This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

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 and acclimate slowly if moving the coral toward brighter light, watching its response before making further changes.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, distributed movement helps keep the coral clear without exposing it to a forceful direct stream.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas with room to grow. Secure the frag where it can receive indirect flow and adjust gradually after introduction.

Temperament

Allow generous space from neighboring corals. Chalice corals can be semi-aggressive to aggressive, so avoid close placement where contact or nighttime stinging may affect nearby corals.

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional fine meaty foods can be offered when appropriate, while maintaining clean, stable reef conditions.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and avoid abrupt nutrient changes. Observe the coral after acclimation, lighting adjustments, and placement changes, then make corrections gradually rather than shifting several conditions at once.

Give this chalice space, indirect flow, and a gradual acclimation period.
