ECC Cloudberries Chalice

ECC Cloudberries Chalice

Species: Echinophyllia spp.
Coral Type: LPS Coral / Chalice

Description:
ECC Cloudberries Chalice is a colorful and eye-catching chalice coral that adds rich texture and broad, plating growth to a reef aquarium. Its intricate surface and contrasting coloration can become especially vibrant under blue and actinic lighting, making it an excellent choice for LPS displays and mixed reefs. With stable water parameters and suitable placement, this chalice can gradually expand across available surfaces and develop into an impressive colony.

Coral Type: LPS Coral / Chalice
Lighting: Low to Moderate – approximately 50–150 PAR
Flow Rate: Low to Moderate – gentle, indirect flow that helps keep the coral clean without causing excessive tissue movement
Food Requirements: Primarily photosynthetic through its symbiotic zooxanthellae. Occasional small meaty foods or fine particulate coral foods can be offered to supplement nutrition and support healthy growth.
Aggression: Semi-Aggressive – chalice corals may develop sweeper tentacles at night, so provide adequate clearance from neighboring corals.
Placement: Best placed on lower to mid-level rockwork or another stable surface receiving low to moderate lighting and gentle flow. Allow sufficient room around the colony for future growth and nighttime sweepers.

Quarantine & Biosecurity:
We maintain a rigorous, veterinarian-approved quarantine program designed to protect the health of our coral collection and help reduce the introduction of unwanted pests and pathogens. Each coral is carefully inspected and monitored before being made available, providing an added layer of confidence when introducing new specimens to your reef system.
