Peaches Chalice

About this coral

ASD Peaches Chalice is a named chalice coral offered as an LPS coral. “Chalice” is a common trade grouping for several related-looking corals, and the shop name does not establish a precise species or unique care profile. It is kept as an ornamental reef aquarium coral; the listing does not verify the morph’s particular color, origin, size, or growth pattern. The guidance below is general for chalice corals, whose needs can vary. Stable reef conditions, suitable light and flow, and room around the colony help support its placement in a mixed reef.

Features:

• A stony LPS coral with a distinctive chalice growth form; the seller’s named variety is not a verified scientific species.
• Use moderate, indirect water movement as a general starting point. It should keep water moving across the coral without directing a forceful stream at it.
• Begin in a lower-to-middle light area and acclimate gradually. Chalice corals can respond differently to lighting, so observe the coral and adjust cautiously.
• Allow space from neighboring corals. Some chalice corals can extend sweeper tentacles and may sting nearby animals.
• Photosynthetic, and may accept small meaty marine foods; feeding is supplemental rather than a substitute for appropriate light and stable water conditions.

Specifications:

• Care level: Moderate; general chalice-coral guidance, not a morph-specific care rating.
• Temperament: Potentially aggressive toward nearby corals; provide separation.
• Light: Moderate as a general starting point; acclimate gradually.
• Water flow: Moderate, indirect flow; avoid a forceful direct stream.
• Placement: Lower to middle areas are a cautious starting point; adjust to the aquarium’s lighting and the coral’s response.
• Diet: Photosynthetic; may take small meaty marine foods as supplemental feeding.
• General reef targets: Commonly maintained around 24–27°C, salinity 1.025–1.026 specific gravity, pH 8.1–8.4, alkalinity 8– dKH, calcium 400–450 ppm, and magnesium 1,250–1,350 ppm. These are broad reef-aquarium targets, not verified requirements for this named morph.
