Swirling with a kaleidoscope of colors — think electric pinks, purples, greens, and golds — this chalice is the kind of coral that stops visitors in their tracks. The distinctive \"bounce\" polyp extensions add a mesmerizing, almost alien texture that makes it unlike anything else in the hobby.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCoral Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenus:\u003c\/strong\u003e Echinophyllia sp.

Place on the sandbed or lower rockwork, away from direct intense light. PAR of 50–150 is a good target. Avoid sudden exposure to high PAR, which can cause bleaching or browning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWater Flow\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLow to moderate, indirect flow.
