Overview

The Rainbow Chalice Coral is a mesmerizing addition to any reef aquarium, prized for its dazzling array of colors that include vibrant reds, greens, blues, and yellows. Under proper lighting, this corals swirling rainbow patterns make it a standout feature in any aquascape.

Originating from the Indo-Pacific, the Rainbow Chalice naturally resides in shaded or low-light areas with gentle water movement. Its encrusting or plating growth forms add depth and texture to the reef structure, making it both visually striking and biologically functional.

This coral thrives on a mix of photosynthesis via its symbiotic zooxanthellae and supplemental feedings. Offer finely chopped meaty foods like enriched brine shrimp, micro-plankton, or coral-specific feeds to encourage growth and maintain vibrant coloration.

For optimal health, ensure stable water parameters with sufficient levels of calcium, magnesium, and alkalinity to support skeletal development. Low levels of nitrate and phosphate are essential to prevent algae growth and maintain the corals brilliant hues.

The Rainbow Chalice Coral is aquacultured and mounted on a ceramic plug for easy placement, making it ideal for both beginner and experienced aquarists.
