🧬 Overview
The Jason Fox Pink Boobies Chalice is one of the most iconic chalice corals introduced by Jason Fox, prized worldwide for its vibrant pink colouration and striking fluorescent contrast.
Its smooth, undulating growth develops into broad plating formations covered with raised fluorescent eyes, producing exceptional depth and texture as the colony matures. Under blue-spectrum reef lighting, the vivid pink tissue intensifies dramatically while the glowing eyes create a spectacular three-dimensional appearance.
This hardy collector chalice combines outstanding colour with steady growth, making it an excellent centrepiece for both developing and mature reef aquariums.
Selected for:
• Authentic Jason Fox collector lineage
• Intense bubblegum pink colouration
• Bright fluorescent contrasting eyes
• Excellent actinic fluorescence
• Large XL frag with outstanding display potential
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Although highly photosynthetic, chalice corals respond exceptionally well to regular supplemental feeding, often developing improved colour intensity and faster growth.
Recommended feeding:
• Mysis shrimp
• Reef Roids and powdered coral foods
• Finely chopped marine foods
• Zooplankton-based coral feeds
Target feeding after lights out can encourage stronger tissue growth and faster encrustation.

Ideal Range
Alkalinity (dKH)
7.5–8.5
Calcium (Ca)

📍 Placement
Place on the lower areas of the aquarium where it will receive low to moderate light and gentle, indirect water movement. Allow sufficient space from neighbouring corals, as mature colonies may extend short sweeper tentacles during the night.
