Excessively strong light can cause paling or tissue stress, so gradual acclimation is recommended when moving the coral into brighter conditions. Moderate circulation should keep debris from settling on the colony without directly blasting its fleshy tissue. Place on stable lower to mid-level rockwork with room for outward encrusting or plating growth. Maintain stable alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, salinity, temperature, nitrate, and phosphate. Mummy Eye Chalice is photosynthetic but can also benefit from supplemental feeding with appropriately sized meaty or planktonic foods. Feeding may encourage growth and tissue development. Provide adequate space from neighboring corals because chalice corals can extend feeding or sweeper tentacles, particularly after dark.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pacific East Aquaculture, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51895767564521,"sku":"U25 S1737","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2133\/7655\/files\/mummy-eye-chalice-lps-under-25-pea-F-S1737.jpg?v=1789706792","url":"https:\/\/pacificeastaquaculture.com\/products\/mummy-eye-chalice-under-25-pea-f-s1737","provider":"Pacific East Aquaculture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
