The Gamma Ray Chalice was exported from Australia and acquired by Wet Thumb Frags during the early summer of 2011. The delicate patterns within the corallite and the radiating patterns around the corallite appear somewhat similar to high energy sub-atomic particles and gamma ray decays. Thus the name Gamma Ray Chalice was coined by Wet Thumb Frags. Dan and Tina recommend moderate to low light levels along with moderate water flow rates. This chalice can be difficult to fragment and it requires some super glue bandages along the cut line.
Steve Tyree is maintaining a seed section of this coral for Reeffarmers.com in a 130 gallon Raceway Gyre BiZonal system. This system is naturally filtered with a semi-cryptic zone and a reef flat exposed zone. In Steve's captive reef the coral is positioned to receive moderate to low light levels from a 400 watt 20,000 K Radium metal halide. Water current is moderate. The first edition fragment was sold to private collector James Wensil.
