The Ultra Chalice Coral has added a vibrant and dynamic look to my tank. Colors are vivid and it grows steadily. I do have to keep a close eye on it to avoid touching nearby corals, but overall it’s a great addition.

It’s colorful and grows quickly. I use LED lighting and medium flow. The only thing to watch is the sweeper tentacles—keep it away from softer corals.

Beautiful color patterns and a strong growth habit. I’ve had it for three months and it’s thriving. Just make sure your tank layout avoids placing it too close to delicate species.
