Electric Lime Chalice

About this coral

ASD Electric Lime Chalice is an LPS (large polyp stony) coral for reef aquariums, sold under a “chalice” trade name. Chalice corals are popular for their prominent, eye-like centers on the coral’s surface and for the way individual polyps expand to create a bold, textured look. In practical terms, this coral is used as a statement piece in a reef tank where you can provide stable saltwater conditions and suitable light and flow for chalice-type LPS.

Features:

• Chalice-style LPS form a distinctive, eye-catching look with prominent polyp centers
• Typically benefits from gentle, low-to-moderate water movement to avoid stressing fleshy tissue
• Generally does best under moderate lighting appropriate for photosynthetic reef corals
• Helps create a varied, natural reefscape when placed on stable rockwork
• Often responds well to reef tank feeding (in addition to photosynthesis) with targeted, meaty foods
• Works best in established systems where water chemistry and cleanliness are kept consistent
