Oxypora Crassispinosa Chalice

<div class="more_detail"> <div class="more_detail"> <div class="more_detail"> <p>In general, corals coming the genus Oxypora takes the encrusting, submassive and laminar types of coral growth. They have colonies that is composed of several corallites which are often porous and brittle. This means that they can easily be broken. If you are able to touch the underside of this coral, you will feel that it is spiny due to the perforations of its plate formation.</p> <p>For the Oxypora Crassispinosa Chalice, they are predominatly colored green with violet mouth. This are the water parameters for cultivating Oxypora Crassispinosa 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 Oxypora Crassispinosa 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 Oxypora Crassispinosa Chalice. They are highly adaptive that it can grow and encrust any surface, including the glass component of your tank.</p>

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

<p>The Oxypora Crassispinosa Chalice can be found in the waters of the Indo-Pacific Ocean.</p>

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

<p>The Oxypora Crassispinosa 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 Oxypora Crassispinosa Chalice are classfied as sweeper tentacles where it can extend, invade and sting nearby corals.</p>
