Golden Galaxy Chalice

<div class="more_detail"> <p>In general, species from Echinophyllia has an encrusting growth where their colonies can form folds or cups. The corallites that are located at the middle are usually elevated with warty bumps. The color of their mouth usually has a different color from their fleshy body.</p> <p>For the Golden Galaxy Chalice Echinophyllia, they are predominatly colored violet with yellow tips. This are the water parameters for cultivating Golden Galaxy Chalice Echinophyllia:</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>

<p>The Golden Galaxy Chalice Echinophyllia 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 Golden Galaxy Chalice Echinophyllia. They are highly adaptive that it can grow and encrust any surface, including the glass component of your tank.</p>

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

<p>The Golden Galaxy Chalice Echinophyllia can be found in the waters of the Indo-Pacific Ocean.</p>

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

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