I wonder if I have some chalice corals in my tank? Are they stony types then?
Yes they are. I can't seem to keep them in my tank at the moment. Well it seems that my SPS is not keeping well. All softies and LPS are doing great. But across are doing good too. I had a bird'snest and purple Stylo just go bye bye.
Huh. I have a meteor shower cyphestrea that is very moody. Kinda like my 12 year old granddaughter lol. I had it looking awesome then moved it and now it’s pissed again but finally, after almost a month starting to come around again. I just bought 4 stony type corals from Dave Ball. They seem to be doing well. I would say it’s my lights but honestly I had a plain old cheap blue let over them in QT and they all flourished. I wish I could remember the names of all these corals. I need to make a list.
Are any of these chalices?
Doesn't look like it. All look like cyphastrea and a blasto
That’s what I thought but they kinda look the same. I want a chalice someday that kinda grows in layers like wide open petals. Is that a chalice or am I thinking of something else?
Google Montipora Capricornus
Thanks Steve!! This is exactly what I’m talking about. I love it. Mistakenly thought it was the chalice. Thank you so much!
I LOVE THIS ONE!!!
Chalices are incrusting LPS similar to the ones you posted. The other one you have is a lepto. It’s also a LPS but looks a bit more fuzzy with its polyps out. Chalices are relatively easy but can be naughty when too close to other corals. I had one eat some heads off my acan recently.
Yes, I was confused as usual!
