The Australian Purple Monster Chalice is a brilliantly and uniquely colored chalice that was exported from Australia. The main surface color is purple with a unique and rare blue growth outer edge. The surface of the coral is covered with protrusions that are colored bright yellow gold. Polyp tentacles have white bulb ends. Corallite mouths are outlined with bright gold and are surrounded with golden dashes of pigment.

This coral was originally acquired by Hugo of Ghost Corals. It was exported from Australia. Hugo coined the name Australian Purple Monster due to the purple coloration across the surface of the coral. Hugo believes the coral prefers moderate to weak light levels along with moderate water currents.

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 weak light levels from a 400 watt 20,000 K Radium metal halide. Water current is also weak to moderate. The price of this coral per single small branch will be determined in part by the first edition auction which occurred live at the 2011 www.sw-cfm.com coral show.
