Chalice corals typically spiral out from a central point to form relatively flat coloniess. They should be given bright light, especially to maintain colors. Water movement should be mild. These corals will extend feeding tentacles at night to feed on free-floating foods. You can supplement this feeding with small foods like brine or mysis shrimp.




SPECIFIC GRAVITY RANGE 1.023-1.026
TEMPERATURE RANGE 75-82
WATER HARDNESS 8-12 dKH
PH RANGE 8.0-8.4
LIGHTING High
ORIGIN Indo-Pacific
WATER MOVEMENT Low to Moderate
DIFFICULTY Moderate to High
SCIENTIFIC NAME Oxypora sp.
COMMON NAME Chalice Coral
