The Chalice GoldMeister is a truly spectacular LPS coral (Echinophyllia sp.) known for its deep gold and orange hues with a metallic sheen that shimmers under blue aquarium light. This chalice forms undulating, saucer-like plates that slowly grow over the rock, creating a beautiful, vibrant relief in the reef.

Thanks to its unique colour composition – ranging from warm golden yellow to intense copper with contrasting eye-coloured mouths – the GoldMeister is an absolute eye-catcher for any reef enthusiast.

Care and placement

• Light : Low to medium (PAR 80–150) – too much light may wash out the color
• Water flow : Moderate – provide a gentle, steady flow
• Diet : Accepts fine coral food, plankton or amino acid supplements
• Placement : Bottom or middle of the aquarium, with sufficient space around it

Recommended water values

• Temperature : 24–26 °C
• Salinity : 1.025
• KH : 8–9
• Ca : 420–450 ppm
• Mg : 1300–1400 ppm

Particulars

The Chalice GoldMeister displays its most beautiful colors under actinic or blue LED light, with its golden tissue almost glowing. Note that this coral can develop sensitive antennae that expand at night—so place it well away from other corals to avoid tissue burn.
