Afterbuner Chalice

About this coral

Afterbuner Chalice Multiples Available is a named chalice coral offered for reef aquariums. “Chalice” is a trade name used for a group of fleshy large-polyp stony corals, not confirmation of a particular species or of this variety’s specific traits. Chalice corals are prized for their distinctive eyes and coloration, though the exact appearance of this offering is not documented here. It can serve as a focal or complementary coral in a suitable reef display. The care notes below are general guidance for chalice corals; individual specimens may respond differently, so observe the coral after placement and adjust conditions gradually.

Features:

• A fleshy LPS coral for an established reef aquarium; provide stable water conditions and allow it time to acclimate.
• General chalice guidance is low to moderate light. Start conservatively when introducing it, since lighting needs can vary among chalice corals.
• Use gentle to moderate, indirect water movement. Avoid a strong direct current that continually pushes against the coral’s tissue.
• Leave space around the coral and avoid placing it where neighboring corals can make contact; chalice corals may extend stinging sweeper tentacles, particularly at night.

Specifications:

• Coral group: Chalice coral; exact species and named variety traits are not verified.
• Care level: Moderate; general group-level guidance, with individual needs varying.
• Lighting: Low to moderate; acclimate gradually and monitor the coral’s response.

• Diet: Photosynthetic; some chalice corals may accept small meaty coral foods, but feeding response varies and no specific diet is verified for this offering.
• Water conditions: Maintain stable reef-aquarium conditions. No product-specific temperature, pH, salinity, alkalinity, calcium, or magnesium values are verified.
