Overview:

The Green and Yellow Chalice is an eye-catching coral species favored by reef enthusiasts for its vibrant coloration and intricate surface patterns. Perfect for adding a splash of color to your marine aquarium, this chalice coral thrives under proper care and lighting.

Colorization:

This chalice displays a striking combination of bright green and yellow hues with subtle undertones, creating a vivid and dynamic appearance that enhances any reef setup.

Typically, this coral expands to form a plate-like structure ranging from 3 to 5 inches in diameter, making it a moderate-sized addition suitable for various aquarium spaces. Sold as a frag on a 0.5 – 1 inch frag plug.

Lighting:

Green and Yellow Chalices prefer moderate to high lighting conditions, ideally using LED or T5 bulbs that simulate natural reef light and promote healthy growth and coloration.

Water Flow:

They flourish with moderate water flow that helps keep debris off the tissue while providing enough movement to stimulate feeding and gas exchange.

Feeding:

While primarily photosynthetic, these corals benefit from supplemental feeding with planktonic foods or coral-specific liquid nutrients to encourage vibrant growth.
