Pooky The Bear Chalice

Overview

The Pooky The Bear Chalice is a designer coral prized for its soft, pastel color palette and distinctive, bubbly corallites. This whimsical chalice offers a fleshy, puffy texture with a pastel blue base and large, candy-pink or peach-colored eyes, bringing a unique and artistic touch to your marine aquarium.

Colorization

This chalice displays a pastel blue base contrasted by oversized, vivid pink or peach corallites, giving it a captivating and cartoonish appearance that stands out in any reef tank.

Size

Typically provided as frag plugs ranging from 0.5 to 1 inch, ideal for building up your coral collection with manageable specimens.

Lighting

Thrives under low to moderate lighting (80–125 PAR). Too intense lighting may diminish its delicate pastel glow, so it is best suited to gentle reef lighting setups.

Water Flow

Prefers low to medium flow, enough to keep the valleys of the coral clean but gentle enough to keep its fleshy tissue fully expanded and healthy.

Feeding

Responds very well to target feeding. Extends feeding tentacles at night and benefits from finely chopped mysis shrimp or high-protein LPS pellets for optimal growth and coloration.

Aggressiveness

Possesses potent sweeper tentacles that emerge at night; aggressive towards nearby corals, so maintain a minimum of 3–4 inches spacing to prevent conflicts.

Care Level

Rated easy to moderate. Requires stable water parameters and a mature, stable reef environment to maintain its vibrant and delicate pastel coloration over time.
