Space Invader Chalice

About this coral

Space Invader Chalice is an LPS coral (chalice-type) offered by the aquarium shop under that named trade identity. Chalice corals are prized in reef aquariums for their distinctive, eye-like centers and attractive surface variation. As an LPS coral, it’s typically kept for display and for watching its feeding and polyp extension—making it a rewarding centerpiece for hobbyists who want a hardy, showy coral that benefits from consistent, reef-like water conditions.

• Chalice-style LPS growth form with attention-grabbing “eyes” and textured appearance
• Often shows strong polyp extension when conditions are favorable
• Benefits from stable water quality and reef lighting for photosynthetic support
• Enjoys a gentle-to-moderate water flow that helps keep its feeding surfaces clear
• Works well as a focal coral in an LPS-leaning reef layout
• Typically benefits from occasional supplemental feeding to support overall health
• A peaceful invertebrate that generally suits community reef aquariums alongside other non-aggressive species
