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, then acclimate slowly if moving toward brighter light to avoid sudden stress.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, varied movement helps keep debris from settling without exposing the coral to a harsh direct blast.

Placement

Place it in a lower reef area with room to grow. Allow time for acclimation after introduction, especially when transferring from dimmer conditions.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive to aggressive chalice ample space from neighboring corals. Maintain separation to reduce the risk of stinging and avoid placing delicate corals within reach.

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional fine meaty foods can be offered. Keep portions modest and observe the coral’s response.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and avoid abrupt nutrient changes. Monitor its response to light, flow, and nearby corals during the first weeks, adjusting placement gradually rather than making rapid changes.

Thoughtful placement and stable conditions support long-term chalice care.
