Echinophyllia spp. (Ultra)

Echinophyllia, commonly known as the Chalice Coral, is a popular LPS coral valued for its vibrant colors and dramatic growth forms. It typically develops thin, plating or encrusting colonies with ridges and eye-like corallites scattered across the surface. They come in variety of colors, often with striking fluorescent highlights. Its bold appearance and moderate care requirements make it a favorite addition to mixed reef aquariums.

Care in Aquariums:

• Lighting: Low to moderate
• Flow: Moderate, indirect
• Placement: Lower to mid rockwork; allow space for outward plating growth
• Feeding: Benefits from occasional small meaty foods or powdered coral foods
