{"product_id":"emerald-eye-eclipse-chalice","title":"Emerald Eye Eclipse Chalice","description":"\u003ch2\u003eEmerald Eye Eclipse Chalice\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCoral Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003eEchinophyllia sp.\u003c\/strong\u003e chalice coral features a vivid, high-contrast color profile that shifts beautifully under different reef lighting. Under white light, the colony shows a bright purple base. Under blue-spectrum lighting, it takes on a much brighter blue appearance, while the bright green polyps and bright green new growth ring remain strong focal points across the colony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe textured surface, layered chalice form, and fluorescent green growth edge make this a standout LPS coral for reef keepers looking to add both contrast and color change to their display. Its combination of bright green highlights and saturated body color gives it strong visual appeal in both daylight and actinic viewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare Requirements\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEchinophyllia\u003c\/strong\u003e chalice corals generally do best in \u003cstrong\u003elow to moderate light\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003elow to moderate indirect flow\u003c\/strong\u003e. Place this coral where it can receive stable conditions without harsh, direct flow hitting the tissue. Too much light or excessive flow can cause stress, reduced extension, or tissue recession.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor best long-term results, maintain stable alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, salinity, and nutrient levels. Chalice corals typically respond better to consistency than frequent adjustment. In established reef systems, balanced supplementation such as the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ndaquaculture.ca\/collections\/reef-charge\/products\/hydroshock-3-part-complete-system\"\u003eHydroShock 3 Part Complete System\u003c\/a\u003e can help support healthy tissue growth and coloration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeeding \u0026amp; Nutrition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike other photosynthetic LPS corals, this chalice relies primarily on light through its symbiotic algae, but it can also benefit from a stable nutrient environment and occasional fine particulate feeding. Good overall reef nutrition may help support tissue fullness, coloration, and steady edge growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBroader planktonic and microbial support can also contribute to a more mature feeding environment.

Abrupt swings may lead to fading, stress, or tissue loss, especially after shipping or recent placement. New additions should be acclimated carefully and observed before being moved into stronger light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis coral should also be given space from aggressive neighbors, as chalice corals can be vulnerable to direct contact and may extend sweeper tentacles. Stable parameters, gentle placement, and patience usually produce the best results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eShipping \u0026amp; Arrival Guarantee\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe pack corals carefully for transit to help reduce handling stress and temperature swings during shipping.
