Chalices are known for their vivid colours, contrasting mouths and unusual growth patterns, gradually spreading across the rockwork as they mature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThey are generally straightforward to keep once settled and are a great choice for adding strong colour lower down in the reef. Don't let their fairly peaceful daytime appearance fool you, though ? chalices can extend feeding and sweeper tentacles after dark and are capable of stinging neighbouring corals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScientific Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eEchinophyllia\u003c\/em\u003e sp.

Chalices are photosynthetic but can benefit from occasional target feeding with small meaty foods or suitable coral foods. Feeding when the coral's tentacles are extended can help support growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Give the colony plenty of room to grow and avoid placing other corals immediately alongside it. Chalices can produce surprisingly long sweeper tentacles, particularly at night. They also appreciate stable alkalinity, calcium and magnesium levels and should be acclimated gradually if moving into significantly stronger lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Happy Reef","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53627174748496,"sku":"THRC-0001","price":65.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.thehappyreef.com\/products\/orange-crush-chalice-76","provider":"The Happy Reef","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
