Red Chalice Coral Frag

The Red Chalice Coral is a stunning encrusting LPS coral, prized for its deep crimson colouration, intricate surface texture and exceptional fluorescence. Rich, saturated reds create an unmistakable focal point within the reef, while the coral's natural plating growth gradually transforms a small frag into an increasingly impressive display.

Unlike corals that rely on movement for visual impact, the Red Chalice rewards closer inspection. Its textured surface, contrasting corallites and vibrant pigmentation create remarkable depth, with every new area of growth revealing subtle variations in colour and pattern. Under blue-spectrum lighting, the fluorescent pigments intensify beautifully, giving the coral a rich, glowing appearance that becomes even more striking after the main lights begin to dim.

As it slowly encrusts across the rockwork, the Red Chalice develops into a mature colony full of character and detail. Its steady growth and timeless colour make it an excellent choice for reef keepers looking to add lasting visual interest without overwhelming the aquascape.

Whether featured as a standout specimen or incorporated into a carefully curated Chalice collection, the Red Chalice Coral Frag offers bold colour, intricate texture and the kind of long-term beauty that only improves with age.
