🔥 Regal Colour, Collector’s Appeal
The Large Red & Gold Speckled Chalice Coral is a breathtaking masterpiece that commands attention in any marine aquarium. With a rich red base and dazzling gold flecks scattered across its undulating surface, this coral radiates a molten, treasure-like beauty that glows brilliantly under both white and actinic lighting. Its plate-like form and fluid contours make it a visual centrepiece in any reefscape.
🪸 A Premium Chalice with Presence
This chalice isn’t just beautiful — it’s impressive in size and structure. As a large specimen, it offers instant impact and becomes a dominant feature in your tank. Its encrusting to plating growth habit allows it to expand steadily over rockwork, and its vibrant colours only become more intense as it matures. Perfect for the aquarist who values premium coral specimens that double as living art.
🌊 Best for Experienced Reef Keepers
While hardy once established, chalice corals benefit from stable conditions and gentle water flow. Moderate lighting will enhance its vivid pigmentation without overstressing the tissue. Regular spot feeding can boost growth and maintain its lush, velvety appearance. Due to its potent sweeper tentacles, it’s best given space from other corals to thrive without competition.
