Description

Another incredible chalice Echinophyllia coral from World Wide Corals. Victor and Lou have previously brought into the marketplace the Bubble Gum Monster and Superman Chalices. The main body of the Creamsicle Chalice contains a solid blue coloration that changes to purple along the outer new growth areas. Corallites are a bright solid pink orange. Each corallite area is ringed with a thick band of purple pigments. This helps to define the striking color contrasts between the corallites and the main body surface. There can also be occasional large purple colored surface bumps on the otherwise smooth surface of this coral.
