Fistful O’ Dollars Chalice

Name: Fistful O’ Dollars Chalice (Echinophyllia / Oxypora sp.)

Description

The Fistful O’ Dollars Chalice is a vibrant plating LPS coral known for its rich turquoise, teal, and metallic green tones contrasted by bright, colourful eyes. Its smooth, undulating surface and striking colour palette make it a premium showpiece chalice that stands out instantly.

Why We Like It

This morph delivers top-tier colour without requiring extreme care. The mix of metallic greens and bold eyes gives it a high-end, collector look that holds well under common reef lighting. It grows in attractive plates, stays manageable in size, and brings serious visual impact to any LPS collection.

Details

• PAR: 80–150
• Placement: Low to mid-level; low to moderate flow
• Aggression: Moderate—short but effective sweeper tentacles; give breathing room
• Photosynthetic: Yes
• Recommended Feeding: Occasional Reef Roids or fine meaty foods to enhance colour and growth
• Rarity: Rare

Notes

Avoid strong direct flow, which can cause edge recession. Protect from very aggressive neighbours and leave space for natural plating. Colouration is most intense under blue-heavy lighting with stable nutrients. Benefits from periodic target feeding for faster eye development.
