Overview

Introducing the Amber Inferno Chalice, a coral that radiates fiery brilliance with its full orange coloration, reminiscent of a glowing sunset on the horizon. This striking coral will capture attention in any reef aquarium, adding a rich, warm glow that contrasts beautifully against other corals.

Native to the Indo-Pacific, the Amber Inferno Chalice thrives in shaded areas with gentle water flow, where it grows in encrusting or plating formations. Its peaceful temperament makes it an ideal addition to a diverse reef, as it wont compete aggressively with other species but requires ample space to grow freely.

This coral relies on its symbiotic zooxanthellae for photosynthesis, but it also benefits from occasional feedings of meaty foods such as enriched brine shrimp, micro-plankton, or coral-specific feeds to support its growth and maintain its vibrant orange hue.

To ensure optimal health and coloration, keep stable water parameters with appropriate levels of calcium, magnesium, and alkalinity. Low nitrate and phosphate levels are also crucial to prevent algae growth and preserve the coral’s fiery radiance.

Aquacultured and mounted on a ceramic plug for easy placement, the Amber Inferno Chalice is perfect for aquarists looking to add a bold, eye-catching coral to their setup. Approximate purchase size: 2.5 to 5 cm.
