Lighting for Chalices

i was thinking about buying a chalice and was wondering if they could survive min my tank with power compact lighting. and also if so where the placement should be ( high or low flow)

 

You will want mid to high flow and keep it middle to high in your tank.

 

k thanks

 

Not to hijack...but what params are ideal for chalices as well?

 

^ IME, right about the same as most other LPS. I keep some in my tank alongside a mix of SPS and LPS, and they do just fine. They are known to soak up Mg at a faster pace than most corals however. Some of mine grow quite quickly, some are much slower.

 

They're also fairly aggressive, and can release toxins into the water. Run your carbon!

 

Thanks.

Thanks.

 

I have one that bleaches if it's not in the shade...

Some want very low light... It's a tricky coral IME.

 

True, I find the individual differences to be really extreme. I have a couple up with my SPS, and some that I can't move off of the sandbed.

 

I have all of mine mounted vertically, and they still bleach somewhat if they get a lot of light.
