Water Conditions: 24–27 °C, dKH 8–12, pH 8.0–8.4, sg 1.024–1.026
Family: Pectiniidae
Lighting: Moderate (highlights contrast without bleaching tissue)
Supplements: Calcium, Magnesium, Trace Elements, Amino Acids
Water Flow: Gentle to moderate — keeps tissue clean while allowing polyp expansion
Placement: Mid to lower reef levels

🧬 Overview
The Cosmic Eye Chalice is an ultra-exclusive, one-of-a-kind colony, combining fluorescent lime green tissue with vivid red circular mouths arranged in unique, eye-like patterns. This morph is considered unique worldwide, making it a true collector’s treasure. Its plating, encrusting growth form allows it to expand dramatically while showcasing its surreal, cosmic-like coloration.

🍽️ Feeding & Care
Although photosynthetic, Chalice corals thrive with 2–3 weekly supplemental feedings of coral pellets, reef roids, or enriched brine/mysis. Regular feeding supports rapid growth, mouth development, and vivid fluorescence. Avoid direct strong flow or harsh light that could cause tissue stress.

📈 Optimal Parameters

• 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
Best placed in mid to lower reef zones with indirect light and moderate water flow. Provide ample space for growth, as this mega colony can spread extensively and may extend sweepers. Under actinic lighting, the red circular mouths glow like cosmic eyes against the green background.
