Its bold coloration and fluorescent appearance make it an impressive addition to mixed reef aquariums, especially when viewed under blue reef lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis aquacultured chalice is adaptable to different lighting conditions and develops an attractive encrusting to plating growth pattern as it matures. Its relatively straightforward care requirements make it suitable for both newer reef keepers and experienced coral collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach order includes one aquacultured frag averaging approximately 3\/4 to 1 inch in size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease Note\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe photograph represents the typical appearance of this coral. The exact coral received will vary naturally in size, shape, coloration, number of eyes, and growth pattern. Coloration may also change depending on aquarium lighting, water chemistry, placement, and acclimation.

Allow it time to acclimate before gradually moving it into stronger light if desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProvide moderate, indirect water movement that keeps the coral clean without directing a forceful stream against its tissue. Chalice corals may extend sweeper tentacles, particularly after the aquarium lights turn off. Leave several inches of space between this coral and neighboring livestock to prevent stinging and tissue damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStable reef parameters are important for maintaining healthy tissue, strong skeletal growth, and vibrant coloration.
