Its encrusting growth weaves together red, green and orange, all of which fluoresce under blue actinic light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTemperament and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eChalices in this family are known to extend sweeper tentacles after lights-out and sting whatever coral tissue they can reach, so plan for generous spacing around AA5.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNatural Habitat\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWild colonies of Oxypora are found on shaded reef slopes and walls across the Indo-Pacific, forming thin encrusting sheets in low light and gentle indirect flow. Keep AA5 in a comparably shaded lower or side position, away from direct strong current that could damage its delicate tissue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plate is flat and encrusting, textured across the surface, with raised corallites and a bright rim in red, orange, green or pink that becomes especially vivid under actinic light. Look for smooth, uniformly coloured tissue with no signs of white or receding edges as a marker of good health.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nick's Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55232768540963,"sku":"BA9272","price":65.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/7236\/5347\/files\/P8280052_65ca062c-65cf-4fe8-9e21-453ebf90aa07.jpg?v=1787900287","url":"https:\/\/nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au\/products\/oxypora-chalice-aa5-oxypora-sp","provider":"Nicks AOT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
