Tidal Gardens Riddler Chalice

Tidal Gardens Riddler Chalice

Species: Echinophyllia sp.

Coral Type: Other LPS

Physical Description: The Tidal Gardens Riddler Chalice is a striking chalice coral known for its bright neon green base coloration accented by contrasting purple or violet eyes. This coral forms a thin, plating skeleton that gradually encrusts and expands outward across rockwork as it grows. Its surface features raised ridges and recessed mouths that create a textured appearance typical of chalice corals. Under actinic lighting, the vibrant green coloration fluoresces intensely, making it a standout piece in reef aquariums.

Coral Type: Other LPS
Lighting: Low to Moderate (approximately 50–150 PAR)
Flow Rate: Low to Moderate, allowing gentle water movement across the surface without excessive turbulence
Food Requirements: Primarily photosynthetic but benefits from occasional feedings of fine meaty foods such as reef roids, mysis shrimp, or broadcast plankton to promote growth and coloration.
Aggression: Moderate; chalice corals can extend short sweeper tentacles at night and should be given some space from neighboring corals.
Substrate: Best placed on rockwork or lower areas of the aquarium where lighting and flow are moderate and stable.
