𧬠Overview
The Cosmic Eye Chalice is an ultra-rare collectorās morph, showcasing a radiant lime green base and intense red circular mouths that form distinct cosmic āeyesā across the surface. Each frag is cut-to-order from our master colony, ensuring both premium health and the same breathtaking patterning as the mother specimen.
Its encrusting growth form allows for wide expansion while maintaining the hypnotic symmetry of its glowing red and green contrast ā a coral that truly stands out under actinic lighting.
š½ļø Feeding & Care
Although primarily photosynthetic, Chalice corals thrive with 2ā3 weekly supplemental feedings of coral pellets, Reef Roids, or enriched mysis/brine shrimp. Consistent feeding encourages growth, enhances mouth definition, and intensifies colour fluorescence.
Avoid strong direct flow or harsh light exposure that can cause tissue stress.
š Optimal Parameters
| Parameter | Ideal Range |
|---|---|
| Alkalinity (dKH) | 8ā12 |
| Calcium (Ca) | 420ā460 ppm |
| Magnesium (Mg) | 1250ā1350 ppm |
| Nitrate (NOā) | 2ā10 ppm |
| Phosphate (POā) | 0.02ā0.08 ppm |
š Placement
Place frags in mid to lower reef zones with indirect light and moderate water flow. Allow adequate space for future growth, as Chalice corals may extend sweeper tentacles when mature.
šø Cut-to-Order Note
This coral is offered as Cut-to-Order, meaning each frag is freshly cut from our Cosmic Eye Chalice master colony. The frag you receive will display the same unique lime green and red circle-mouth pattern characteristic of this exclusive collector morph.
