Reds, oranges, greens and pinks blend across the surface and glow noticeably under blue light. A thriving colony will show fully saturated, smooth tissue right to the growth edge, without any bleached or receding margins.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDescription\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOxypora sp. is an LPS chalice coral known for its delicate, textured plate and a vividly coloured rim. Colonies encrust in swirling patterns of red, green and orange that respond strongly to actinic lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNatural Habitat\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis species is native to shaded reef slopes and wall faces across the Indo-Pacific, where it forms thin encrusting sheets under low light and gentle, indirect current. Replicating that in the aquarium means giving AA003 a shaded lower or side placement, kept clear of strong direct flow that could damage its fragile tissue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTemperament and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eChalice corals of this type are capable of stinging tankmates via sweeper tentacles at night, so allow adequate clearance from neighbouring corals.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nick's Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55232768409891,"sku":"BA9270","price":95.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/7236\/5347\/files\/P8280050_6fba27f5-8683-46ed-ad2e-f99d407ec2f7.jpg?v=1787900287","url":"https:\/\/nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au\/products\/oxypora-chalice-aa003-oxypora-sp","provider":"Nicks AOT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
