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 areas to avoid abrupt changes in exposure.

Flow

Use low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle, dispersed 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. Allow open space around the edges and acclimate gradually when introducing it to brighter lighting.

Temperament

Give this semi-aggressive to aggressive chalice ample separation from neighboring corals. Plan spacing carefully, as nearby corals may be affected if placed too close.

Feeding

Occasional fine meaty foods may be offered, but feeding is optional. Keep portions modest and observe the coral’s response during regular maintenance.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and avoid abrupt nutrient changes. Observe the coral after placement, lighting adjustments, and feeding, then make gradual changes rather than frequent large corrections.

Provide gentle conditions, stable care, and enough space from nearby corals.
