Pink Lemonade Chalice

About this coral

Pink Lemonade Chalice is an LPS coral known in the aquarium trade for its distinctive chalice growth form and its eye-like centers. As with many named “color morphs,” the exact morph traits may vary, but this coral is practically used in reef aquariums as a showpiece LPS that benefits from stable water conditions and appropriate light and water movement. While chalice corals are often kept for their visual appeal, they’re also living animals that rely on both lighting and water quality to maintain their health.

Features:

• LPS coral type prized for chalice growth and prominent “eye” centers
• Helps add depth and focal color to a mixed reef or LPS display
• Generally prefers stable, established saltwater conditions rather than frequent changes
• Typically benefits from moderate light to support photosynthetic nutrition
• Usually does best with gentle, indirect water flow that avoids blasting tissue
• May accept supplemental feedings of appropriately sized meaty foods, alongside its light-driven nutrition
