Bronze Malachite Chalice (Echinophyllia sp.)
The Bronze Malachite Chalice is a striking large-polyp stony coral featuring a rich metallic bronze base adorned with intricate blue-green patches reminiscent of natural malachite stone. Contrasting growth eyes and subtle fluorescent highlights add further depth, creating a colony that appears more like a living work of art than a coral.
Why We Like It
The colour palette of this chalice is truly unique. Rather than relying on intense fluorescence alone, it combines earthy metallic bronze tones with mineral-like malachite markings to create a sophisticated and highly unusual appearance. Mature colonies develop exceptional character, with every ridge and contour revealing new patterns and colour contrasts.
Care & Details
* Lighting: Low to moderate
* Flow: Low to moderate
* Placement: Lower to middle regions of the aquarium
* Growth: Slow to moderate
* Feeding: Benefits from occasional feeding of reef foods and small meaty foods
* Aggression: Moderate – may extend sweeper tentacles at night
A unique collector’s chalice combining metallic bronze tones and malachite-like markings in a truly distinctive and memorable display piece.
