Description
You are buying the exact coral in the photo — an XXL 4″ Chalice colony we have held for over a year, photographed under blue spectrum reef lighting. The camera honestly cannot do this colony justice; the pigment layering reads deeper and richer in person.
About Chalice Corals (Echinophyllia)
Mature chalice colonies are the crown jewels of LPS collections — plates of stacked pigments that took years to build. Buying the colony instead of a frag means skipping straight to the display piece.
