🔹 Quick Stats
Care Level: Moderate
Temperament: Semi-aggressive
Colour Form: A striking fusion of deep crimson and fiery bright red, grafted together across a richly textured encrusting surface. Under blue or actinic spectrum lighting, the coral glows like molten lava streaked with shadow, creating a dramatic contrast unlike any other chalice.
Water Conditions: 24–27 °C, dKH 8–11, pH 8.0–8.4, sg 1.024–1.026
Family: Lobophylliidae
Lighting: Low to Moderate (enhances depth of red tones)
Supplements: Calcium, Magnesium, Trace Elements, Amino Acids
Water Flow: Low to Moderate – sufficient to keep tissue clean without stressing edges
Placement: Sandbed or lower rockwork with open space for expansion
🧬 Overview
The Sith Flame Chalice is an elite, collector-grade morph of Echinophyllia spp., known throughout the reefing community as the Darth Maul Grafted. Each frag combines dark maroon and incandescent red-orange pigmentation, forming a living tapestry that evokes the embers of a Sith forge.
This piece is cut-to-order directly from our master colony, ensuring every frag retains the same hypnotic grafted colouration and healthy, encrusting growth. As it matures, it develops undulating folds and raised corallites, giving a unique 3D texture that glows fiercely under actinic light.
A coral of power, presence and pure artistry — the perfect centrepiece for serious collectors.
🍽️ Feeding & Care
Although primarily photosynthetic, the Sith Flame Chalice responds exceptionally well to target feeding once or twice weekly with Reef Roids, rotifers, or finely minced meaty foods. Regular feeding encourages faster growth and preserves the intensity of its grafted pigments.
Avoid strong or direct flow, which may cause tissue stress on delicate edges.
📈 Optimal Parameters
| Parameter | Ideal Range |
|---|---|
| Alkalinity (dKH) | 8–11 |
| Calcium (Ca) | 420–460 ppm |
| Magnesium (Mg) | 1250–1350 ppm |
| Nitrate (NO₃) | 2–10 ppm |
| Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.01–0.05 ppm |
📍 Placement
Position frags on flat sandbed or lower rockwork, in low-flow, indirect-light zones to allow full tissue extension and polyp feeding. Maintain a safe buffer from aggressive corals, as this species may extend sweeper tentacles during the night.
📸 Cut-to-Order Note
Each frag is individually cut-to-order from our Sith Flame master colony, ensuring the same vivid grafted pattern and premium health. Please allow the necessary healing time before dispatch to guarantee optimal condition upon arrival.
