Mummy Eye Chalice Coral

Mummy Eye Chalice Coral - Care Requirements

Mummy Eye Chalice Coral is a chalice large-polyp stony coral with a distinctive mummy eye morph name. This LPS coral is suited to reef keepers prepared to provide moderate care, stable conditions, and thoughtful spacing. Its chalice growth form makes placement and room around the colony important as it settles in.

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 in gentler light, then acclimate slowly if moving it brighter to avoid sudden stress.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, dispersed movement helps keep the coral clear without directing a strong stream at its fleshy surface.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas with room to grow. Begin with a stable position and make any lighting adjustments gradually.

Temperament

Allow generous space from neighboring corals. Chalice corals can be semi-aggressive to aggressive, so keep nearby specimens beyond potential stinging reach.

Feeding

Offer occasional fine meaty foods if desired. Feeding is optional, and small targeted portions are more practical than heavy feeding.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and avoid abrupt nutrient changes. Observe the coral after placement or any adjustment, especially during light acclimation, and respond slowly rather than making multiple changes at once.

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