AA024 should be positioned similarly — low and shaded within the aquarium — and kept away from direct current, which can stress its delicate tissue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis coral takes on a flat, encrusting shape with a heavily textured surface. Look for raised \"eye\" corallites and often a striking contrasting rim; the base colours can range from red, orange and pink right through to green and blue, sometimes several within one colony.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDescription\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eChalice corals like AA024 are among the most sought-after encrusting corals for their swirling colour combinations. They tend to look quieter in daylight, then transform under blue lighting as their eyes and rims fluoresce.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nick's Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55232713687331,"sku":"AA2856","price":65.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/7236\/5347\/files\/CH9020006_49a2e792-5c51-4ff0-b419-f306bcc6e442.jpg?v=1788330561","url":"https:\/\/nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au\/products\/chalice-coral-aa024-echinophyllia-aspera","provider":"Nicks AOT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
