WWC Orenji Chalice

WWC Orenji Chalice

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

Description:
WWC Orenji Chalice is a striking large polyp stony coral admired for its distinctive coloration and textured, encrusting growth pattern. Its intricate surface and vivid appearance add depth and visual interest to a colorful reef aquarium. With stable water parameters, appropriate lighting, and gentle to moderate water movement, this chalice coral can gradually spread across its mounting surface and develop into an attractive colony.

Coral Type: LPS Coral / Chalice
Lighting: Low to Moderate — approximately 50–150 PAR
Flow Rate: Low to Moderate, with indirect flow to prevent debris from settling on the coral's surface
Food Requirements: Primarily photosynthetic; occasional supplemental feeding with small meaty foods or fine particulate coral foods may support growth
Aggression: Semi-aggressive; some chalice corals can extend sweeper tentacles, particularly at night, so provide adequate space from neighboring corals
Placement: Lower to middle rockwork in a stable location with indirect flow and suitable lighting. Leave enough space around the colony to accommodate growth and potential sweeper tentacles.

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.
