Hey Reefers! Lets talk Chalice Corals!
Chalice are some of the most well known Large Polyp Stony (LPS) corals out there! They come from several different countries in the central Indo-Pacific region, where they are usually found on shallow reefs. "Chalice" is actually a broad name, encompassing several different genus of corals!
The 3 main genus of corals that we see here at the shop that fall under the "Chalice" name are Mycedium, Oxypora, and Echinophyllia.
Each has its own unique characteristics and appearance, that even vary between the different species under each genus. However, overall the most prominent characteristic is, by far, their coloration. Chalice range from vibrant shades of green, red, blue, and purple to pinks, golds, yellows, and oranges. Almost every color you can imagine! They also can have incredible, intricate patterns and markings, dependent on their species. Which can make for a crazy blend of colors that is highly desired by Reefers!
Another likeable characteristic of Chalice is their ability to have rapid growth, given the right conditions. This allows for fragging and propagation of some of the most stunning Chalice strains for everyone to enjoy. Making them one of the best candidates for Aquaculture! We proudly have carried over 50+ different Aquacultured strains of Chalice over the years, and love each new one more and more!
