{"product_id":"cloudberry-chalice","title":"Cloudberry Chalice","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Cloudberry Chalice is a chalice coral in the genus \u003cem\u003eEchinophyllia\u003c\/em\u003e, valued for its layered plating growth, bright contrasting eyes, and the mix of cool base tones with warm orange-to-yellow patterning that gives this strain its name. In a reef tank, it brings strong colour contrast without requiring the highest-light zones that many stony corals demand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis coral is best treated as a moderately easy \u003cem\u003eEchinophyllia\u003c\/em\u003e that rewards stable parameters and patient placement. Like many chalice corals, it tends to do best when introduced to the lower to middle areas of the aquarium, where it can settle under low to moderate light and moderate, indirect flow. Too much light too quickly can wash colour or stress tissue, while overly low flow can allow debris to collect on the coral’s surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Reef Keepers Choose Cloudberry Chalice\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDistinctive chalice look with encrusting-to-plating growth\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStrong colour contrast that stands out under reef lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for mixed reefs when given space from neighbouring corals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eA good fit for hobbyists looking to add an \u003cem\u003eEchinophyllia\u003c\/em\u003e without moving into extreme-care territory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenus:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eEchinophyllia\u003c\/em\u003e sp.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoral Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e LPS chalice coral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLighting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low to moderate\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Flow:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate, indirect flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlacement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lower to middle areas of the tank\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aggressive to nearby corals if not given space\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Form:\u003c\/strong\u003e Encrusting to plating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePlacement Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStart your Cloudberry Chalice in a lower-light area and acclimate gradually. Chalices are often happiest when they receive enough movement to keep detritus from settling, but not so much direct flow that tissue is constantly pushed around. As the colony grows, give it room to expand outward and keep clearance from neighbouring corals, especially other LPS, since chalices can develop sweeper tentacles and sting nearby specimens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeeding And Growth\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike other chalice corals, Cloudberry Chalice gets much of its energy from light, but stable nutrients and occasional feeding can support fuller colour and steadier growth. Many reef keepers target feed chalices with fine particulate or meaty coral foods after lights dim, when feeding response is often strongest. Consistency matters more than heavy feeding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want to learn more about how our systems are supported, visit \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ndaquaculture.ca\/pages\/what-we-feed-our-corals\"\u003eWhat We Feed Our Corals\u003c\/a\u003e and explore the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ndaquaculture.ca\/collections\/reef-charge\"\u003eReef Charge collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGood To Know Before Ordering\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll livestock orders are backed by our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ndaquaculture.ca\/pages\/arrive-alive-guarantee\"\u003eArrive Alive Guarantee\u003c\/a\u003e.
