This WYSIWYG Under $25 frag features a deep red to burgundy base with glowing orange-red “lava pool” eyes and subtle yellow highlights, giving it a warm molten appearance under reef lighting. Chalice corals such as \u003cem\u003eEchinophyllia\u003c\/em\u003e are popular with reef hobbyists because they offer compact growth, strong color contrast, and attractive texture for established reef aquariums.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare Guide:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eEchinophyllia\u003c\/em\u003e sp. generally does best in low to moderate lighting and low to moderate indirect water flow. Avoid strong direct current, which can irritate the tissue or prevent natural expansion. Start this frag lower in the aquarium and acclimate it slowly to stronger lighting, especially under LEDs. Place it on the sand bed, lower rockwork, or a stable frag rack with space around it, as chalice corals may extend sweeper tentacles and sting nearby corals. Maintain stable alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, salinity, and temperature. This coral is photosynthetic but may benefit from occasional target feeding with small meaty foods or quality coral foods when feeding response is visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pacific East Aquaculture, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51856880337129,"sku":"U25 S0916","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2133\/7655\/files\/lava-pools-chalice-under-25-pea-u25-S0916.jpg?v=1788992044","url":"https:\/\/pacificeastaquaculture.com\/products\/lava-pools-chalice-under-25-pea-u25-s0916","provider":"Pacific East Aquaculture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
