🔹 Cosmic Eye Chalice
Echinophyllia sp. (Cut-to-Order – Lime Green with Red Circle Mouths, Ultra Rare Collector Morph)
🔹 Quick Stats
Care Level: Moderate to Advanced
Temperament: Semi-aggressive
Colour Form: Vibrant lime green base featuring striking red circular mouths that create a mesmerising, eye-like “cosmic” pattern. Under actinic or blue-dominant lighting, the red mouths fluoresce intensely against the luminous green tissue, giving a surreal, otherworldly appearance.
Water Conditions: 24–27 °C, dKH 8–12, pH 8.0–8.4, sg 1.024–1.026
Family: Pectiniidae
Lighting: Moderate – enhances colour contrast without bleaching the tissue
Supplements: Calcium, Magnesium, Trace Elements, Amino Acids
Water Flow: Gentle to moderate – promotes tissue health and polyp expansion
Placement: Mid to lower reef zones
🧬 Overview
The Cosmic Eye Chalice is an ultra-rare collector’s morph, showcasing a radiant lime green base and intense red circular mouths that form distinct cosmic “eyes” across the surface. Each frag is cut-to-order from our master colony, ensuring both premium health and the same breathtaking patterning as the mother specimen.
Its encrusting growth form allows for wide expansion while maintaining the hypnotic symmetry of its glowing red and green contrast – a coral that truly stands out under actinic lighting.
🍽️ Feeding & Care
Although primarily photosynthetic, Chalice corals thrive with 2–3 weekly supplemental feedings of coral pellets, Reef Roids, or enriched mysis/brine shrimp. Consistent feeding encourages growth, enhances mouth definition, and intensifies colour fluorescence.
Avoid strong direct flow or harsh light exposure that can cause tissue stress.
📈 Optimal Parameters
| Parameter | Ideal Range |
|---|---|
| Alkalinity (dKH) | 8–12 |
| Calcium (Ca) | 420–460 ppm |
| Magnesium (Mg) | 1250–1350 ppm |
| Nitrate (NO₃) | 2–10 ppm |
| Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.02–0.08 ppm |
📍 Placement
Place frags in mid to lower reef zones with indirect light and moderate water flow. Allow adequate space for future growth, as Chalice corals may extend sweeper tentacles when mature.
📸 Cut-to-Order Note
This coral is offered as Cut-to-Order, meaning each frag is freshly cut from our Cosmic Eye Chalice master colony. The frag you receive will display the same unique lime green and red circle-mouth pattern characteristic of this exclusive collector morph.
