The Chalice is a brilliantly colored coral with a heavy tissue matter over its skeleton. The heavily tissued, fleshy body adds amazing texture, and makes it a beautiful addition to any tank. The Chalice is very easy to maintain, therefore it makes a very good choice for a beginner aquarist. Being a hardy species, it can be grown in almost any type of light environment. The Chalice grows best with brightest colors under moderate to high light. It features long sweeper tentacles that can sting the neighboring corals, therefore keeping the other corals at a distance is recommended. It should be placed horizontally in areas of low to medium and water movement. It is known to have both growth of encrusting when placed near aquarium as well as a plating habit growth strategy when housed in an open area. The Chalice is nocturnal, and feeds at night. It benefits from small pieces of meaty marine foods, such as baby brine shrimp, Cyclop-eeze, or foods designed for filter feeding invertebrates. Addition supplements of calcium, strontium, and other trace element to the water column is also proved beneficial for its continued good health.Chalice will thrive well in a temperature range of 72-78 degree Fahrenheit, and pH of 8.1-8.4.
