WWC Stellaria Chalice

WWC Stellaria Chalice

Species: Echinophyllia spp.

Coral Type: LPS Coral / Chalice

WWC Stellaria Chalice is a striking large polyp stony coral prized for its colorful tissue, unique patterning, and broad plating growth form. Its surface can develop a vibrant combination of contrasting colors and fluorescent highlights that become especially pronounced under blue-spectrum and actinic lighting. As the colony grows, it gradually encrusts and spreads across available rockwork, creating a colorful, textured centerpiece for an established reef aquarium.

Coral Type: LPS Coral / Chalice
Lighting: Low to Moderate lighting requirements (approximately 50–150 PAR)
Flow Rate: Low to Moderate; gentle, indirect water movement helps keep the coral free of debris while allowing its fleshy tissue to expand fully
Food Requirements: Photosynthetic through symbiotic zooxanthellae; occasional feedings of small meaty foods or fine particulate coral foods may support growth, coloration, and overall health
Aggression: Semi-Aggressive; chalice corals may extend sweeper tentacles, particularly at night, and should be given adequate space from neighboring corals
Placement: Best placed on stable lower to mid-level rockwork where it has room to encrust and spread. Provide gentle, indirect flow and avoid excessively strong lighting or direct water movement.

We maintain a rigorous, veterinarian-approved quarantine program that includes proactive treatments, careful observation, and daily monitoring to ensure the highest standards of coral and invertebrate health. Our biosecurity practices reduce the risk of cross-contamination between systems, meaning all of our livestock are carefully quarantined and prepared for your display tank.
