Ultra Aussie Echinophyllia Chalice
Transform Your Tank with a Showpiece Straight from Australian Waters
Looking for a truly rare reef centerpiece? The Ultra Aussie Echinophyllia Chalice is one of the most sought-after large polyp stony corals in the hobby, prized for its extraordinary depth of color — expect rich jewel-toned pigments layered across sweeping, dish-like growth with eye spots that seem almost electric under reef lighting. Australian-collected specimens are especially coveted for their intense coloration and genetic quality, and availability is always limited. This is not a coral you'll find at your local chain store.
Echinophyllia chalice corals grow as broad, plating or encrusting colonies that make an immediate visual impact even as a small frag — and as they expand across your rockscape, they only become more dramatic. They are a rewarding long-term investment for intermediate to advanced reef keepers who appreciate a coral that grows with intention and rewards stable, dialed-in water chemistry with bold, consistent color. Moderate flow and mid-to-low placement in your reef tank will keep this specimen thriving and spreading beautifully.
