WWC Pumpkin Head Chalice Coral

WWC Pumpkin Head Chalice Coral

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

Description:
WWC Pumpkin Head Chalice Coral is a striking large polyp stony coral prized for its unique growth pattern, rich coloration, and textured surface. Its encrusting structure creates an eye-catching display on lower reef rockwork, making it a great addition to a colorful coral collection. With appropriate lighting, gentle to moderate flow, and stable water parameters, this chalice coral can gradually expand across its surrounding surface.

Coral Type: LPS Coral / Chalice
Lighting: Low to Moderate — approximately 50–150 PAR
Flow Rate: Low to Moderate, with indirect flow to keep debris from settling on the coral's surface
Food Requirements: Primarily photosynthetic; occasional feeding with small meaty foods or fine particulate coral foods may support growth
Aggression: Semi-aggressive; may extend sweeper tentacles, particularly at night, so provide adequate space from neighboring corals
Placement: Lower to middle rockwork with stable placement, indirect flow, and enough room for the colony to expand.

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.
