ASD Peach Chalice

About this coral

ASD Peach Chalice is a named chalice coral offered for reef aquariums. “Chalice” is a trade name used for several related-looking stony coral types, so the exact species and any variety-specific traits are not established here. Chalice corals are prized for their distinctive eyes and coloration. This photosynthetic LPS coral can add a spreading, encrusting form to a suitable reef display. The care notes below are general guidance for chalice corals, not verified requirements for a particular species or color morph.

Features:

• A stony LPS coral with a spreading, encrusting growth form; allow room around it as it develops.
• Photosynthesis provides energy, and small meaty foods may also be offered when the coral accepts them.
• Use stable reef-aquarium conditions; avoid sudden changes in salinity, temperature, or major water chemistry.
• Provide gentle to moderate, indirect flow so water circulates around the coral without directing a strong current at it.

Specifications:

• Care level: Moderate; general chalice-coral guidance.
• Lighting: Low to moderate is a commonly used starting range for chalice corals. Acclimate gradually when changing light.
• Placement: Typically placed in the lower to middle area of the aquarium, with room around the colony. Exact placement depends on tank lighting and flow.
• Diet: Photosynthetic; may accept small meaty coral foods. Feeding response can vary.
• Water parameters: Maintain stable reef conditions. General targets often used include 24–27°C, specific gravity 1.025–1.026, pH 8.1–8.4, alkalinity 8–12 dKH, calcium 400–450 ppm, and magnesium 1,250–1,350 ppm; these are general ranges, not morph-specific requirements.
