Echinophyllia sp. – Electric Lightning Pattern | Freshly Cut Frags from Mother Colony
🔹 Quick Stats
Care Level: Moderate to Advanced
Temperament: Semi-aggressive
Colour Form: A spectacular chalice coral displaying an electric lightning-like pattern. Irregular streaks of neon blue and white run across a deep red to purple base, creating the illusion of electricity frozen in coral form. Under actinic or hybrid reef lighting, the contrasting streaks become particularly striking against the darker background.
Water Conditions: 24–26 °C, dKH 7.5–9, pH 8.0–8.4, sg 1.024–1.026
Family: Lobophylliidae
Lighting: Low to Moderate (PAR 60–120)
Water Flow: Gentle to moderate, indirect flow
Placement: Lower to mid reef zones
Type: CUT TO ORDER – Freshly Cut Frag
🧬 Overview
The Electric Storm Chalice is an extraordinary collector's colour morph, featuring a dramatic combination of deep red and purple tissue crossed by electric blue and white lightning-like streaks.
Its intricate pattern creates a striking visual effect, especially under blue-spectrum reef lighting, where the contrasting colours become particularly vibrant.
As the coral grows, its plating and encrusting structure gradually expands, revealing new sections of its distinctive pattern.
Our CUT TO ORDER option allows you to acquire a freshly cut fragment directly from our carefully maintained mother colony.
Each frag is individually selected and cut after your order is placed, giving you the opportunity to grow your own Electric Storm Chalice into a spectacular colony.
✂️ CUT TO ORDER – Important Information
• Frags are freshly cut from the mother colony shown in the photographs.
• The photographs represent the mother colony, not the exact frag you will receive.
• Each fragment is unique, and its shape, size, number of mouths and lightning-pattern distribution may vary depending on the cutting area.
• The intensity and distribution of the electric blue, white, red and purple colours may differ between individual fragments.
• Frags are allowed an appropriate recovery period before shipping to minimise transport stress.
• Shipping will be arranged once the frag has recovered sufficiently from cutting.
Selected for:
• Distinctive electric lightning-like pattern
• Neon blue and white contrasting streaks
• Deep red to purple base coloration
• Healthy mother colony with active growth margins
• Beautiful plating and encrusting growth structure
• Striking colour contrast under reef LED lighting
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Although photosynthetic, Chalice corals can benefit from occasional targeted feeding to support healthy growth and tissue development.
Recommended feeding 1–2× weekly:
• Mysis shrimp or finely chopped seafood
• Reef Roids or powdered coral foods
• Small coral pellets
• Target feeding with reduced flow
Allow freshly cut fragments to recover and show a normal feeding response before introducing targeted feeding.
Maintain stable water chemistry and avoid unnecessary trace-element supplementation without testing.
📈 Optimal Parameters
| Parameter | Ideal Range |
|---|---|
| Alkalinity (dKH) | 7.5–9 |
| Calcium (Ca) | 420–450 ppm |
| Magnesium (Mg) | 1300–1400 ppm |
| Nitrate (NO₃) | 5–20 ppm |
| Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.03–0.10 ppm |
📍 Placement
Position your Electric Storm Chalice frag in the lower to mid areas of the aquascape, where low to moderate lighting and gentle, indirect water movement allow it to settle and grow naturally.
Start with lower lighting after introduction and gradually acclimate the coral to its final position.
Avoid strong, direct flow that could damage delicate tissue or cause recession along freshly cut edges.
Allow sufficient space from neighbouring corals, as Chalices can extend sweeper tentacles and may damage nearby specimens.
Under actinic lighting, the electric blue and white streaks contrast beautifully against the deep red and purple base, creating the coral's distinctive lightning-like appearance.
📸 CUT TO ORDER Note
This coral is sold as CUT TO ORDER, not WYSIWYG.
The photographs show our mother colony, from which your frag will be freshly cut.
The exact appearance, shape, size, number of mouths and lightning-pattern distribution of your fragment may vary depending on the cutting area.
Your frag will be prepared after purchase and shipped once it has recovered sufficiently.
