Chalice corals are very stable in coloration

The genera Echinopora, Oxypora, Echinophyllia, Mycedium & Co are also grouped under the collective name "Chalice". These are classified as large polyp stony corals (LPS corals) and usually grow plate-like. However, they can also form upright tubes. Chalice corals come in a wide variety of fascinating colour combinations, which are particularly evident under blue light. A big advantage of these corals is that they are very stable in their colour expression and this hardly changes, even with fluctuating conditions.

Beware of too much light and long fighting tentacles

Chalice corals cope well with variable light conditions, but feel most comfortable with weak to moderate lighting. The flow should be just strong enough to prevent debris from collecting on the chalice. Beware of long fighting tentacles! A safety distance of at least 10 cm from the nearest coral is highly recommended.

Feeding chalice corals?

Direct feeding is not absolutely necessary, but Chalice corals will thank you with more growth if you occasionally provide them with small dry or frozen foods. The ideal feeding time for chalice corals is during the evening or night hours.
