Inferno And Ice Chalice

About this coral

Inferno And Ice Chalice is a chalice-type LPS coral for reef aquariums, valued for its distinctive “eyes” and showy coloration. In practice, it’s typically added as a centerpiece or mid-to-bottom focal coral, where its textured surface and tentacle-like feeding can be observed and where stable water quality helps it look its best.

Features:

• Chalice-style LPS growth form with prominent “eye” structures
• Often displayed for contrast and visual interest in LPS reef scapes
• Best used as a focal coral on the rockwork, rather than high-competition placements
• Generally benefits from moderate, indirect water movement to support feeding
• Accepts supplemental feeding of appropriate meaty foods in many reef systems
• Helps make LPS tanks more visually varied compared with soft corals or only SPS collections

• Care level (general guidance): Moderate
• Lighting (general guidance): Moderate to moderately high reef lighting
• Water flow (general guidance): Moderate, indirect flow (avoid strong blasts)
• Placement (general guidance): Rockwork with stable positioning; often mid to lower tank for balance of light and flow
• Diet (general guidance): Photosynthetic, with supplemental meaty foods often used for LPS
• Temperature (general reef range): About 72–78°F (22–26°C)
• pH (general reef range): About 8.1–8.4
