{"product_id":"mauve-chalice","title":"Mauve Chalice","description":"\u003cp\u003eMauve Chalice is an aquacultured LPS chalice coral with soft mauve-purple coloration and a broad encrusting-to-plating growth form. It is a good choice for reef keepers who want a lower-light coral with subtle colour, texture, and strong contrast under blue-heavy reef lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCoral Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis chalice coral is best treated as a placement-focused LPS coral: give it a stable spot, avoid intense direct light, and leave room around the frag as it settles in. Its low, spreading growth makes it well suited to lower rockwork, open shelves, or an isolated frag area where the surface can develop without touching neighbouring corals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy It Stands Out\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMauve to purple-toned chalice coloration\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLow-profile encrusting-to-plating growth form\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAttractive under actinic and blue-heavy lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGood fit for lower rockwork or open ledges\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAquacultured coral grown in New Dawn Aquaculture systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare Requirements\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMauve Chalice does best in a stable reef aquarium with gentle acclimation to both light and flow. Start it lower in the tank and avoid blasting the coral with strong direct current. Chalice corals can be aggressive if they contact nearby corals, so give it open space as it grows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLighting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low to moderate\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlow:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low to moderate, indirect\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlacement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low to mid tank on secure rockwork, a ledge, or a frag area\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aggressive if allowed to touch nearby corals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Best for reef keepers who can maintain stable parameters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWater Chemistry \u0026amp; Stability\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike other chalice corals, Mauve Chalice benefits from consistent alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, salinity, and measurable nutrients. Avoid repeated moves once the coral has been placed, and watch for detritus collecting on the tissue or in low-flow pockets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the same core chemistry approach used in our coral systems, see the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ndaquaculture.ca\/products\/hydroshock-3-part-complete-system\"\u003eHydroshock 3-Part Complete System\u003c\/a\u003e and our guide to \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ndaquaculture.ca\/blogs\/aquaculture-insights\/tagged\/alkalinity\"\u003ereef tank water parameters\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeeding \u0026amp; Nutrition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMauve Chalice is primarily photosynthetic, but occasional fine coral foods and a healthy planktonic food web can support tissue health and steady growth.
