Space Invader Chalice Coral - Care Requirements

Space Invader Chalice Coral is a chalice large-polyp stony coral with WYSIWYG selection. This WYSIWYG chalice coral is an LPS option for reef aquariums. Its care centers on gentle placement, measured lighting, indirect water movement, and adequate room from neighboring corals.

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 lower light and acclimate slowly before moving toward brighter conditions, watching the coral’s response throughout the adjustment.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, varied movement helps keep the coral clear without directing a harsh stream at its fleshy tissue.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas with room to grow. Give it a stable surface and adjust light exposure gradually rather than making sudden placement changes.

Temperament

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

Feeding

Feeding is optional, but occasional fine meaty foods may be offered. Keep portions modest and observe its response before establishing a routine.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and avoid abrupt nutrient changes. Acclimate carefully to stronger light, monitor for changes after placement, and make adjustments gradually rather than changing several conditions at once.

Give this chalice space, steady conditions, and a gradual acclimation period.
