Its care needs center on restrained light, indirect flow, and adequate room around the frag.

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

Use low to moderate lighting. Start in lower light and acclimate slowly if moving toward brighter areas, watching the coral’s response before making further changes.

Flow

Provide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, dispersed movement helps keep the surface clear without directing a harsh stream at the coral.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas with room to grow. Secure the frag where it can receive appropriate light and indirect flow while allowing a gradual acclimation period.

Temperament

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

Feeding

Feeding is optional. Occasional fine meaty foods may be offered when practical, while avoiding excessive feeding or sudden nutrient changes.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make adjustments gradually. Avoid abrupt nutrient changes, acclimate carefully to brighter light, and observe placement, flow, and nearby corals regularly for signs that spacing or conditions need adjustment.

Give this chalice steady conditions, indirect flow, and room from neighbors.
