Thunder and Lightning Chalice

<div class="more_detail"> <div class="more_detail"> <div class="more_detail"> <p>In general, corals coming from the genus Mycedium takes the flat, laminar plane or plate type of coral growth. Their colonies have several plates that may originate from different points or planes. One distinct characteristics for a Mycedium coral is that their corallites are raised, tubular and has angular outward growth that forms a shape resembling like a nose.</p> <p> </p> <p>As for the Thunder and Lightning Chalice, they are predominantly colored yellow and red in a stripe pattern. This are the water parameters for cultivating Thunder and Lightning Chalice:</p> <ul> <li>Calcium: 380 - 430 ppm</li> <li>Alkalinity: 3.2 - 4.8 MEQ/L</li> <li>Phosphates: 0</li> <li>Magnesium: 1200 - 1350</li> <li>Strontium: 8 - 10</li> <li><span class="subListHeading1">Temperature: </span>74° - 82° F (23° - 27° C)</li> <li><span class="subListHeading1">Salinity / Specific Gravity:</span> 1.023 - 1.025</li> </ul> </div> </div> </div>

<p>The Thunder and Lightning Chalice gets much of its nutrition from the symbiotic zooxanthellae living within their tissues. However, we still recommend you do supplemental feeding by adding mysis and brine shrimp.</p>

<p>A mature tank is recommended in cultivating Thunder and Lightning Chalice. They are highly adaptive that it can grow and encrust any surface, including the glass component of your tank.</p>

<p>The Thunder and Lightning Chalice requires moderate lighting and low to moderate waterflow. If they are exposed to strong waterflow, their tentacles wiill not go out, which in turn, will deprive them from feeding.</p>

<p>The Thunder and Lightning Chalice are prone to brown jelly infection, especially if water conditions are not met and maintained.</p>

<p>The Thunder and Lightning Chalice can be found in the waters of the Indo-Pacific Ocean.</p>

<p>The Thunder and Lightning Chalice has an aggressive behavior. Therefore, proper spacing must be maintained with regards to nearby corals.</p>

<p>The Thunder and Lightning Chalice are purely marine, therefore, salinity must be maintained thoroughly at 1.023 to 1.025 s<span class="subListHeading1">pecific gravity.</span></p>

<p>The tentacles of the Thunder and Lightning Chalice are classfied as sweeper tentacles where it can extend, invade and sting nearby corals.</p>
