It encrusts in swirling bands of red, green and orange that fluoresce strongly under blue actinic light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrowth is flat and encrusting, with a textured surface and raised corallites. The contrasting rim runs through red, orange, green and pink shades that intensify under actinic lighting. Healthy tissue appears smooth and consistently coloured, with no white or receding margins.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNatural Habitat\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis species naturally inhabits shaded slopes and vertical wall faces across the Indo-Pacific, where reduced light and mild indirect currents let it spread as thin encrusting sheets. AA1 should be housed in similar conditions: shaded, positioned low or off to the side, and away from any direct high-flow current that could harm its thin tissue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTemperament and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike other chalice corals, it may extend sweeper tentacles at night to sting nearby tankmates, so give it sufficient open space.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nick's Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55232769065251,"sku":"BA9176","price":75.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/7236\/5347\/files\/P8280048_6c5feb87-1319-4bf4-93e7-241fbd9b5504.jpg?v=1787900286","url":"https:\/\/nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au\/products\/oxypora-chalice-aa1-oxypora-sp","provider":"Nicks AOT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
