This specimen displays brilliant neon-green tissue across the colony with darker olive-brown shading around the recessed corallite centers, creating a dramatic glowing appearance under reef lighting. The raised ridges and deep, sculpted corallites give the colony substantial texture while the fluorescent green coloration dominates the overall appearance. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEchinophyllia\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e corals contain symbiotic photosynthetic dinoflagellates that provide much of their nutritional energy, while their feeding structures can also capture appropriately sized planktonic and meaty foods.

Flow should be sufficient to prevent debris from collecting in the recessed corallites without continuously blasting the fleshy tissue. Place the coral securely on rockwork with room to encrust or plate outward as it grows. Maintain stable temperature and salinity along with consistent alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium to support skeletal development. Nitrate and phosphate should remain measurable and reasonably stable rather than being driven excessively low. Photosynthesis supplies much of the coral’s nutritional energy, although occasional targeted feeding with appropriately sized marine foods can provide supplemental nutrition. Allow adequate space from neighboring corals because chalice corals may extend feeding or defensive tentacles beyond the visible colony margin, especially after lights-out.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pacific East Aquaculture, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67801453953257,"sku":"F OC2771","price":59.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2133\/7655\/files\/glowing-toxic-chalice-premium-frags-pea-F-oc2771.jpg?v=1793228932","url":"https:\/\/pacificeastaquaculture.com\/products\/glowing-toxic-chalice-pea-f-oc2771","provider":"Pacific East Aquaculture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
