Raja Chalice LPS Coral Frag

Raja Chalice, Echinophyllia sp., is a colorful large polyp stony coral known for its encrusting to plating growth, textured surface, and bold contrast around its feeding eyes. This WYSIWYG frag features a vivid green central body with bright red-orange eyes and a darker outer rim, giving it the classic high-contrast chalice look reef hobbyists search for. Echinophyllia chalice corals are prized for their intense coloration, compact growth form, and ability to become a standout accent coral in lower-light areas of the reef. Care Guide: Echinophyllia sp. chalice corals generally do best in low to moderate lighting and low to moderate indirect flow. Avoid placing them under intense light too quickly, as chalices can bleach or recede if shocked; acclimate slowly and start lower in the aquarium. Give this coral space from neighboring corals, as chalices can extend sweeper tentacles and may sting nearby tissue. Maintain stable alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, salinity, and temperature. This coral is photosynthetic but benefits from occasional target feeding with small meaty foods or quality LPS coral foods after lights out or when feeding tentacles are visible.
