This are the water parameters for cultivating Rainbow Delight 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 Rainbow Delight 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>The Rainbow Delight 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 Rainbow Delight Chalice are classfied as sweeper tentacles where it can extend, invade and sting nearby corals.</p>
