Description
Chalices are encrusting LPS corals known for their wild colors and patterns, with many named varieties. They grow as plating or encrusting colonies and are one of the most collected corals in the hobby. This is a large colony, and we can frag it if you'd like.
Care: Low to moderate light and low to moderate flow. Feed occasionally with fine meaty or coral foods, and give it room from neighbors since chalices put out sweepers at night.

Notes from the King:
"Chalices are where a lot of collectors start going crazy. I keep them low to mid in the tank where the light is softer, and they slowly plate out over the rock. A little Reef-Roids now and then helps, and give them space, because they'll sting anything that grows into them."
