Orange Challice Hard Coral Frag Echinophylia Sp
The Orange Chalice Coral, part of the Echinophyllia genus, is a stunning addition to any reef aquarium, known for its vibrant orange coloration and unique, textured surface. Its fleshy polyps create a captivating visual display, often enhancing the beauty of the surrounding corals. This hardy LPS coral is relatively slow-growing but makes a striking statement in the aquarium.
Origin:
Native to the warm, shallow waters of the Indo-Pacific region, Echinophyllia corals thrive in diverse reef environments, often found in areas with stable lighting and flow.
