Representative Chalice coralphoto — a dedicated image of this exact morph isn't available yet.
A purple-and-green base with bright neon-green eyes that develops swirling, scrolling plates as it matures. Technically an Echinopora (often listed as Echinopora lamellosa) but universally sold as a chalice.
📜 Backstory
Popularized and named by World Wide Corals, which still sells it; often cited as one of the fastest-growing chalices in the hobby. Widely aquacultured today (Tidal Gardens, Reef Systems, Bulk Reef Supply and many others), so it is now affordable and common.
Keeper tips for this variant
Moderate flow and medium light (roughly 150-250 PAR); unlike most chalices it plates outward into open water and grows aggressively, so give it room to scroll rather than crowding it against rock or neighbors.
