Space Invader Chalice is an absolute show stopper for any reef aquarium collection. Famous for its intense, glowing neon green base color and contrasting bright eyes, this premium Mycedium/Pectina chaice adds a bright pop of color under actinic LED lighting. This listing is for a healthy, full healed aquacultured frag.
Space Invader Chalice Lighting and Placement
- Keep PAR levels between 75 and 200, depending on the specific strain.
- Place them on the sand bed or lower rockwork initially to prevent bleaching.
- Provide a blue lighting spectrum to make their vibrant colors pop.
Water Flow
- Use low to moderate, indirect flow to keep detritus from settling without tearing the flesh.
- Avoid high flow rates that lift tissue or blow the coral off the rocks.
Water Parameters
- Temperature: 72–78°F (22–26°C)
- Salinity: 1.024–1.026 SG
- pH: 8.1–8.4
- Alkalinity: 8–12 dKH
- Calcium: 400–450 ppm
- Magnesium: 1250–1350 ppm
- Nitrates: <10 ppm
- Phosphates: <0.10 ppm
Feeding and Temperament
- Feed 1–2 times per week with powdered coral foods or meaty marine foods like mysis shrimp.
- Give them space from neighbors, as they can deploy sweeper tentacles at night and sting other corals.
