Raised corallite \"eyes\" dot the flesh, often rimmed in a contrasting colour, while the overall palette can run anywhere from red, orange and pink to green and blue — frequently several shades at once within the same colony.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDescription\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a chalice coral, this piece belongs to a group of encrusting-plate corals long favoured by collectors for their swirling colour patterns. Its tones look muted under normal lighting but come alive under blue actinic light, when the eyes and rims fluoresce brightly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNatural Habitat\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the wild, Echinophyllia aspera settles on shaded slopes, walls and overhangs throughout the Indo-Pacific, favouring lower light levels and only moderate, indirect water movement. When housing AA23, choose a shaded lower or side spot in the tank and steer clear of direct flow, which can damage the coral's thin tissue.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nick's Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55232713654563,"sku":"AA2855","price":55.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au\/products\/chalice-coral-aa23-echinophyllia-aspera","provider":"Nicks Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
