Easter Egg Chalice: Do you have any chalice corals in your tank?

[vb_reefs]

I’m really proud of this rescue, talk about a recovery. Also a few others just slowly cooking.

Chalice are fun corals:

Some grow fast others not so fast….

How do you get such clear pictures? Mine never look this good.

Do you have them on the sand at bottom of tank? I've been thinking of getting one.

This is the only one I’ve got. First time I got one to live longer than 3 weeks or so. Had it for about a month and a half.

Either on the bottom , edges, or semi shaded down low right off the bottom. The Bubblegum Monster is mid level but way over close to the right side.

Nothing special when I took the top down pictures I was measuring salinity and just took my iPhone and took top down pictures. All the water flow was off. To be honest I was also surprised how nice the picture turned out.
The side view ones were taken when I cleaned the glass, no filter on the camera. I like to take quick pictures for reference, are the corals growing, colour looks good etc…

Part of the trick is to have clear water and healthy corals help with that. When growing they filter it out nicely. I also use 40ml per 50 gal GAC, change every 4 weeks and few Zeo stones (like 2or3) mixed in with GAC. I noticed some time ago that Zeo stones really help with water clarity. Besides skimmer that is all for filtering the water. I don’t use filter socks, fleece rollers, UV, ozone, fuge etc…
For 2 part dosing I use the low pH Alk component, I use Fauna Marin Balling light ( I think it is basic baking soda). I observed some time ago that when I used the high pH Alk it can increase pH but it forms precipitation and made the water cloudy. Just my observation, maybe I did not use them correctly…

Chalices are probably my favorite coral in my tank

 

[Gumbies R Us]

Chalice corals are some of my favorite corals, eventually I'll end up getting some for my tank

Do angels bother chalice corals?

Do angels bother chalice corals?

I have a Biota Goldflake Angel in my system and I've seen it nip my chalices on occasion. That said, I've seen no apparent harm to the coral.
