🧬 Overview
The Echinophyllia sp. “Sunburst” is a striking collector chalice coral prized for its vivid orange-and-green fluorescence and exceptional colour contrast. This beautiful homegrown cultured specimen develops intense glowing patterns and richly textured surfaces that create dramatic reef presence under modern LED lighting systems.
Under heavy blue-spectrum reef lighting, the coral radiates brilliant molten-orange fluorescence layered with glowing neon-green eyes and contrasting highlights across the colony surface. In balanced daylight systems, additional amber, gold and lime-green metallic tones emerge, producing exceptional visual depth and a warm high-end collector appearance.
As the colony matures, it develops elegant plating growth, dense colourful texture and remarkable fluorescent contrast that makes it stand out dramatically within both LPS-dominated and mixed reef aquariums. In stable mature reef systems, Sunburst chalice rewards reef keepers with strong growth, intense coloration and premium collector-grade reef presence.
