We generally show the coral frags under different
light settings:
- Top view blue light - 20,000 K
- Top view daylight - 12,000 K
- Reef tank shot without filter
- Reef tank shot with orange filter (= filter shot)
- Variation of frags
- optional: picture of the broodstock
When taking a filter shot, we deliberately choose not to use too much blue light in order to display the colors as naturally as possible and as one would perceive them without filter glasses. Please note that deviations can still occur due to certain display and lighting settings and subjective perception.
In terms of size, you can use the light grid plate to help you: one square is 1.6 x 1.6 cm. Our frag plugs measure 2 or 3 cm in diameter.
Chalice corals are very stable in coloration
The genera Echinopora, Oxypora , Echinophyllia , Mycedium & Co are also grouped together under the collective name "Chalice". These are classified as large-polyp stony corals (LPS corals) and usually grow in plate form. However, they can also form upright tubes. Chalice corals come in a variety of fascinating color combinations, which are particularly noticeable under blue light. A big advantage of these corals is that their color is very stable and hardly changes, even under fluctuating conditions.
Beware of too much light and long fighting tentacles
Chalice corals cope well with variable lighting conditions, but feel most comfortable in low to moderate lighting. The current should be just strong enough to prevent deposits from collecting on the chalice. Be careful of the long fighting tentacles of some chalices! A safety distance of at least 10 cm from the next coral is recommended for some variants.
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 amounts of dry or frozen food. The ideal feeding time for chalice corals is during the evening or night hours.
